FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece?
The fleece is made from 170gsm 100% recycled polyester Symmetry fleece.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It is designed to be lightweight and extra warm, making it excellent as a mid-layer. For extremely cold conditions, it would likely need to be layered with a warmer jacket or insulated coat.
How should I wash the fleece?
The fleece is machine washable. It is recommended to wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30-40°C) and avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
An anti-pill finish helps to prevent small balls of fiber (pills) from forming on the fabric's surface during wear and washing, maintaining a smoother appearance.
Can this fleece be worn by women?
This specific model is described as designed for adult males. While some women might wear men's sizes for an oversized fit, the sizing and cut are tailored for a male physique.
What are the main benefits of the recycled polyester?
Using recycled polyester reduces reliance on virgin materials, contributes to reducing plastic waste, and lowers the environmental impact associated with textile production.
How much ventilation does the half-zip provide?
The half-zip allows for adjustable ventilation. You can zip it up fully for warmth or partially unzip it to allow airflow and regulate body temperature during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a low-temperature wash and have avoided harsh detergents or fabric softeners which can sometimes affect the fleece's texture. Air drying is recommended over tumble drying.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track to help it glide more smoothly.
Pilling is occurring on the surface.
While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive abrasion can still lead to minor pilling. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim or items with Velcro. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver if they appear.
