FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece top?
The top is made from 100% Polyester fleece.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It is designed as a lightweight, insulated layer. For very cold weather, it is best worn as part of a layering system, underneath a heavier jacket or coat.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean?
Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, helping it look newer for longer.
Can I wear this fleece for high-intensity activities?
Yes, its lightweight and breathable nature, combined with the quarter-zip for ventilation, makes it suitable for activities like hiking or walking. However, for very intense sports, a moisture-wicking base layer might be preferred as the primary garment.
What is the fit of this fleece?
The fleece has a regular fit, designed for comfortable wear and ease of movement.
Does the embroidered detail add bulk?
No, the embroidered detail is designed to be subtle and does not add significant bulk to the garment.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the garment is clean. Fabric softeners or heavy soiling can reduce insulation. Check that the quarter-zip is fully closed if maximum warmth is desired.
Pilling is starting to appear.
Review washing instructions. Avoid harsh detergents, high heat drying, and excessive friction from backpacks. Use a fabric shaver gently if minor pilling occurs.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth to help it slide more smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold, on a gentle cycle, with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the fleece's insulating properties and may affect the anti-pilling finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fibers.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If creases occur, hang the garment in a steamy bathroom or use a low setting on a garment steamer, keeping it away from the embroidered detail.
