FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Airtrap 300gsm fabric?
The Airtrap 300gsm fabric is designed to trap body heat, providing high levels of insulation and warmth, making the fleece ideal for cold weather.
Can I wear this fleece as my only layer in winter?
For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to layer the fleece under a waterproof and windproof outer jacket for maximum protection against the elements.
How do I clean the fleece jumper?
Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the two pockets feature zip closures, providing secure storage for personal items.
What is the fit like?
This is a men's heavyweight fleece jumper designed for a casual fit. The drawcord at the hem allows for some adjustability.
Is this fleece suitable for strenuous exercise?
Due to its heavyweight nature, it's best suited for casual wear or light outdoor activities. For high-intensity exercise, a lighter, more breathable fabric would be more appropriate.
What material is the fleece made from?
The fleece is made from 100% Polyester Sueded Fleece.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the drawcord hem is tightened to prevent heat loss. Check for any damage or wear to the fabric that might compromise its insulating properties. Ensure it's layered appropriately for the temperature.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface.
Some pilling is normal with fleece over time. To minimize, follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully, especially using a low heat setting for drying and avoiding harsh detergents.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust.
Check that the drawcord is not tangled or frayed. Ensure the cord lock is functioning correctly. If the cord is frayed, consider replacing it.
