FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece?

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
This is an ultra-lightweight fleece, designed for versatility and layering. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a heavier insulated jacket.
How should I wash this garment?
Zip the garment before washing, wash dark colors separately, and do not use fabric softener. Machine wash on a gentle cycle.
Can this fleece be worn by both men and women?

What does 'flatlock seams' mean for comfort?
Flatlock seams are sewn in a way that they lie flat against the fabric, reducing bulk and preventing chafing against the skin, which is beneficial during physical activity.
What is the weight of this fleece?
The fleece weighs 230g.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. You can try a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax on the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Make sure the fabric is not caught in the zipper track.
Fleece pilling or losing softness
Avoid using fabric softener and tumble drying on high heat, as these can damage the fibers. Wash inside out and consider air drying.
Garment seems to shrink after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding water temperature and drying methods. Air drying is recommended to minimize shrinkage.
