Troubleshooting
Fleece losing its softness
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush to restore loft.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Try gently pulling the zipper while applying slight pressure. A small amount of wax or lubricant can be applied to the teeth if needed.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid abrasive contact with other items. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills.
Garment feels less warm after washing
Check if fabric softener was used, as this can reduce insulation. Ensure the garment is completely dry before assessing warmth.
