FAQs

What material is the Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece made from?

The Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is primarily made from fleece, utilizing a geometric shaping in the weave for insulation.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

It is designed as a warm mid-layer, excellent for insulation. For extremely cold or harsh weather, it would be best worn under a protective outer shell.

How do I adjust the fit if it feels too loose or tight?

The 1/4 zip offers some adjustability for ventilation. For significant fit issues, consider referring to the size chart for future purchases or exploring alternative fits available within the Weird Fish range.

Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer?

While it provides warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer. It does not offer windproof or waterproof protection, making it less ideal as a sole outer layer in adverse conditions.

What does 'grid fleece' mean?

Grid fleece refers to a specific type of fleece fabric that has a grid-like pattern woven into it. This structure helps to trap air, enhancing its insulating properties and often making it more breathable and lighter than standard fleece.

Are there other colors available?

Yes, the Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is available in a range of colors, each with a contrasting color inner neck. Please check product listings for available color options.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their loft and insulating capabilities. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) can be applied to the teeth for smoother operation.

Pilling or snags on the fabric

Pilling can occur with regular wear and washing. Gently remove any pills with a fabric shaver. Avoid washing with items that have rough surfaces or zippers that could cause snags.
