FAQs

What type of outdoor activities is this fleece best suited for?

This fleece is ideal for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, camping, and general outdoor leisure. It's particularly good for layering during cooler weather.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to measure your bust, waist, and hip circumference and compare them to the chart. Consider if you prefer a snug or looser fit for layering.

Can I wear this fleece in the rain?

The fleece itself is not waterproof. It provides warmth and breathability. For rainy conditions, it should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof and windproof outer jacket.

How should I care for the fleece to maintain its softness?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying, as these can degrade the fleece fibers and reduce softness and warmth.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter weather?

It provides good insulation for moderate cold. For extremely cold winter conditions, it is best used as part of a layering system, worn over a base layer and under a warmer, insulated outer jacket.

What does the 'Half Zip' feature offer?

The half-zip allows you to easily adjust ventilation. You can zip it up for warmth and protection against the wind, or unzip it to release heat and improve airflow during physical activity.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the fleece is clean; fabric softeners can reduce insulation. Check for excessive pilling, which may indicate wear. For very cold conditions, consider adding a more robust outer layer.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If resistance persists, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Garment appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you followed the washing and drying instructions precisely. Avoid high heat in the washing machine or tumble dryer. If shrinkage is significant, check the size guide again for future purchases.
