FAQs

What is the primary material of this fleece top?

The fleece top is made from a blend of 60% recycled polyester and 40% polyester, utilizing melange microfleece.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided, which lists chest measurements in inches for each size (XS: 36 in., S: 38 in., M: 40 in., L: 43 in., XL: 46 in., XXL: 49 in.).

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, it can function as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. It is primarily designed as a versatile mid-layer for added warmth.

What are the washing instructions?

Machine wash cold with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

Does the front pocket have a zipper closure?

Yes, the fleece top features one front pocket with a zip closure for secure storage.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

While it provides good insulation, it may not be sufficient as a sole outer layer in extremely cold or wet weather. It is best used as part of a layering system.

What is the fit type of the Esk II fleece?

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Fabric softeners can impair the insulating properties of fleece. Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing and consider a specialized fleece wash if performance has degraded.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid excessive force.

Garment fits too tightly or too loosely

Consult the sizing chart provided in the product details and compare with your own measurements. If the fit is not as expected, consider exchanging for a different size. Note the regular fit intended for this garment.
