Full details
The Joules Borg Stripe Fleece Jacket is an ideal outer layer for active children who need reliable warmth during outdoor play and family outings. Crafted from super-soft polyester fleece, this jacket offers a comfortable, lightweight feel while shielding against autumn breezes with its signature funnel neck design. While it provides excellent insulation for chilly weather, it is best suited as a mid-layer or light jacket rather than a heavy waterproof winter coat.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made of polyester fleece, which is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It is best used on dry but chilly days.
Can this be tumble dried?
It is recommended to air dry the jacket to keep the fabric soft. High heat can damage the synthetic fleece material.
Are the poppers easy for a 7-year-old to manage?
Yes, the snap poppers are designed specifically to be simple and stress-free for children to open and close independently.
Does it have a hood?
No, this specific model features a funnel neck design rather than a hood, focusing on keeping the neck warm.
How should I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard UK children's sizing. If you prefer a loose fit for layering underneath, you may want to size up.
Troubleshooting
Popper fastening feels loose or does not snap
Check for lint or debris caught in the snap mechanism. Clean with a soft brush and ensure the two halves are aligned correctly before pressing.
Fleece texture feels flattened after washing
Once dry, gently brush the fleece with a clean, soft-bristled garment brush to lift the fibres and restore the 'borg' texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Joules Borg Stripe Fleece looking and feeling its best, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colours to maintain the vibrancy of the stripes.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the soft texture of the fleece. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can cause the synthetic fibres to lose their loft.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the shape of the funnel neck.
- Compatibility: This piece fits well under heavier waterproof shells, making it a highly compatible layering piece for varying weather conditions.
