FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece top?

The Craghoppers Esk II Fleece Top is designed as an insulating mid-layer to provide warmth and comfort during cooler weather, suitable for everyday wear or outdoor activities.

What does 'Melange' mean in the fabric description?

Melange refers to a yarn or fabric made from a blend of different colored fibers spun together, creating a mottled or heathered appearance, as seen in the black melange finish of this fleece.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided. For this XL size, the chest measurement is 46 inches. It's recommended to measure your own chest and compare.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?

While it provides warmth, it is primarily intended as a mid-layer. For windy or wet conditions, it is best paired with a waterproof or windproof outer shell.

Is the polyester used in this fleece recycled?

Yes, 60% of the polyester content in this fleece is made from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.

What are the washing instructions?

Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean. Wash with similar colours.

Does it have any pockets?

Yes, it features one front pocket with a zip closure to securely store small items.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm over time.

Ensure the fleece is clean. Dirt and oils can compress the fibers and reduce insulating properties. Follow care instructions for washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of zipper lubricant or even a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help.

Pilling or fuzziness on the fabric surface.

This is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid high-heat drying. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove any significant pilling.
