FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece top?
The fleece top is made from 100% polyester.
How should I wash this fleece top?
It can be machine washed at 40°C. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting.
What does 'anti-pilling construction' mean?
Anti-pilling construction means the fabric is treated or woven in a way that reduces the formation of small balls or pills on the surface, keeping the garment looking newer for longer.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
This fleece provides lightweight insulation and is ideal for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece. For very cold weather, it may be necessary to wear it under a more substantial jacket or coat.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided in the product description. The UK sizing details (e.g., UK 18: 43in) indicate the chest measurement for each size, which is recommended to check against your own measurements for the best fit.
Can this fleece be worn by men?
This specific product is listed as a women's fleece top, designed with a women's fit. While some men might find the fit acceptable, it is tailored for a female physique.
What is the benefit of the quarter-zip design?
The quarter-zip allows for easy on and off, and more importantly, provides adjustable ventilation. You can zip it up high for warmth or zip it down to allow air circulation when you're more active or the temperature rises.
Troubleshooting
Fleece appears to be pilling excessively.
Ensure you are washing according to the care instructions. Avoid washing with abrasive materials. The anti-pilling construction should minimize this over time.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. A small amount of wax or lubricant can sometimes help if the issue persists.
Fleece feels less warm after washing.
Check that the fleece is completely dry. Ensure the care instructions were followed, as harsh detergents or high heat drying can affect the material's loft and insulating properties.
