Troubleshooting
Fleece feels clammy
Ensure you are not overheating. Open the half-zip for ventilation or remove a layer if necessary. Check that your base layer is also moisture-wicking.
Reduced warmth over time
Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impede insulation. Follow care instructions carefully, avoiding fabric softeners which can damage the fibers.
Zipper is stiff
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of wax or graphite can help lubricate the zipper.
