Troubleshooting
Fleece doesn't feel as warm as expected.
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature. This fleece is excellent for insulation but may require a windproof or waterproof outer shell in very windy or wet conditions to prevent heat loss and ensure full warmth retention.
Fleece material feels matted or less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can clog the fibers and reduce softness. To restore loft, tumble dry on a very low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or air dry flat, gently fluffing the material as it dries. Always use a gentle cycle for washing.
Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.
Check the zipper teeth for any trapped fabric or debris and carefully remove it. For minor stiffness, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant applied to the teeth can help improve smoothness. Always ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper path when opening or closing.
Fleece is attracting a lot of lint or pet hair.
Fleece materials can attract lint due to static. Wash the fleece separately or with similar synthetic items to minimize lint transfer. Using a lint roller or a damp cloth is effective for removing trapped lint and hair. Anti-static sprays can also help reduce static cling.

Care: To maintain the fleece's insulating properties and soft texture, follow these guidelines:
- Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
- Use a mild detergent specifically designed for synthetics or technical fabrics if possible.
- Do not use fabric softener, as it can reduce the fleece's wicking ability and trap odors.
- Do not bleach.
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat to prevent matting and maintain loft. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
- Do not iron.
- Do not dry clean.
Proper care will extend the life of your fleece and ensure it continues to provide warmth and comfort for many adventures.
