Full details
The Peter Storm Kids' Bracken Half Zip Fleece is designed for children aged 3-4, providing a cozy and warm midweight layer for outdoor activities during colder months. Its key benefit is offering lightweight warmth and comfort thanks to its recycled polyester fabric, though it's important to note it is a midweight fleece, not a heavy-duty insulation piece. This fleece features a high neck for added protection, a brushed inner for softness, and an anti-pill outer for durability, making it suitable for active kids.

FAQs
What age group is this fleece intended for?
This specific product is sized for children aged 3-4 years. Peter Storm offers other sizes in the same product line.
Is this fleece warm enough for winter?
This is a midweight fleece, offering good warmth for its weight. It is suitable for milder winter days or as a layering piece under a heavier jacket or waterproof shell for colder conditions.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
An anti-pill finish helps to prevent small balls or 'pills' of fiber from forming on the fabric's surface during wear and washing, keeping the fleece looking smoother for longer.
Can this fleece be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, the brushed inner is designed for softness, making it comfortable to wear directly against the skin. However, some individuals may prefer to wear a thin base layer underneath for added comfort or warmth.
How do I wash the fleece?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent and similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry.
What is the main material of the fleece?
The fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester fabric.
Does the fleece have adjustable features?
The fleece features a high neck with a half-zip for easy on and off and ventilation. There are no other adjustable features like drawstrings.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can be rubbed along the teeth to help lubricate it. Ensure the rubber zip puller is not obstructing the track.
Fleece feels scratchy after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have rinsed the garment thoroughly. Consider using a fabric conditioner suitable for synthetic materials on the next wash, following care label instructions. Ensure the garment is fully dry, as sometimes dampness can affect the feel.
Pilling on the outer surface
While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove any pills. Avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans or items with Velcro that could catch and snag the fabric.
