Weird Fish Newark Eco 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece - Blue

Grid fleece features a unique geometric pattern in its weave, creating channels and raised squares. This design allows it to trap more air, providing superior insulation and warmth while also making the fabric more breathable and lighter than solid fleece of the same thickness.

The Newark Eco 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece offers excellent insulation for cool and cold conditions. For very cold or extreme weather, it is best used as a highly effective mid-layer underneath a waterproof and windproof outer shell for optimal warmth and protection.

While it provides warmth, its primary design is for casual wear and light to moderate outdoor activities. Its breathability is good, but for high-intensity sports, you might prefer technical fleeces designed specifically for moisture-wicking during strenuous activity.

The fleece is made from 88% Recycled Polyester, significantly reducing its environmental footprint by repurposing plastic waste and conserving resources compared to using virgin polyester.

The colors are designed to be durable. To maintain color vibrancy, always wash according to the care instructions, using a gentle cycle with cold or warm water, and avoid harsh detergents or bleach.

The Weird Fish Newark Eco 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is available in adult male sizing. Please refer to the specific product page or an official size guide to find your correct fit, as sizing may vary.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath. Grid fleece is designed to trap air, so a good fit (not too loose) and proper layering enhance its insulating properties. Consider adding an outer shell for wind protection if in breezy conditions.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If still stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant (designed for fabric zippers) can be applied carefully.

Pilling can occur with fleece over time, especially in high-friction areas. To minimize pilling, wash the garment inside out, use a gentle cycle, and avoid washing with abrasive items like towels. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove existing pills.

Static can be common with synthetic fabrics like polyester. To reduce static, use a fabric softener when washing or try a dryer sheet during low-heat tumble drying. Avoid over-drying, as this can increase static.
