FAQs
What is the primary use case for this fleece top?
This fleece top is ideal for casual wear, layering during mild to cool weather, and light outdoor activities like walking or hiking.
How does the '170gsm' material specification affect the fleece?
170gsm refers to the weight of the fabric per square meter. This indicates a lightweight fleece, suitable for layering rather than heavy-duty warmth on its own.
Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer in light rain?
While the polyester offers some resistance, this fleece is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is best used as a warm layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing information provided in the product description. Measurements like 'UK 12: 36in' refer to the garment's chest measurement in inches. It's recommended to compare these with your own measurements.
Is the embroidered detail durable?
Yes, the embroidery is designed to be durable and should withstand normal wear and care as per the washing instructions.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean?
'Anti-pilling' means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, helping it look newer for longer.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels too thin for cold weather.
This fleece is designed as a lightweight layer. For colder conditions, consider layering it over a thermal base layer and/or under a heavier jacket or gilet.
Fabric has started to pill.
While designed to be anti-pilling, excessive friction or harsh washing can sometimes cause pilling. Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with similar fabrics and avoid abrasive materials in the wash.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently work the zipper up and down a few times. You can try rubbing a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth to provide lubrication.
