How do I know if Size XXL will fit me?

Can this fleece top be worn in the rain?

Are the pockets secure?

How should I clean the fleece top?

Is this garment suitable for cold weather activities?
It provides warmth and is suitable for light outdoor activities in cool weather or as a mid-layer under a more protective outer shell for colder conditions.
What does it mean that it's made from recycled materials?

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners. Try a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. You can also use a soft-bristled brush to gently restore the fleece's texture.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth to improve glide.
Garment feels too snug
While this is a regular fit, consider layering with lighter items underneath. For a looser fit, explore larger sizes or different styles that offer a relaxed fit. This specific garment corresponds to a UK size 20 / 45-inch chest.
