Gelert Walking Full Zip Fleece Tops - Purple - 7-8

This specific fleece top is designed for girls in the age group of 7-8 years old.

While it provides warmth, for very cold winter weather, it's best used as a mid-layer combined with a suitable base layer and a protective outer jacket for optimal insulation.

The fleece is made from 100% polyester, which offers durability and easy care.

Yes, the fleece features practical handwarming pockets designed to keep hands warm.

No, this fleece is not waterproof or water-resistant. It will absorb water in rainy conditions, so an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended for wet weather.

This fleece is machine washable. For best results, follow the care label instructions, typically washing on a gentle cycle with similar colors and air drying to preserve the fabric's quality.

While polyester offers some breathability, it may not be as breathable as natural fibers like wool or cotton in all conditions. It's designed to trap warmth efficiently.

Ensure the fleece is worn as part of a layering system. For colder conditions, wear a suitable base layer underneath and consider an outer shell jacket to block wind or provide additional insulation.

Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using excessive detergent or fabric softener, which can leave residue. Air dry or tumble dry on very low heat.

To reduce static, use a dryer sheet if tumble drying (on low heat), or air dry. A fabric conditioner during washing can also help. Spritzing lightly with water can temporarily alleviate static.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, rub a graphite pencil or a small amount of zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, a fabric shaver or lint roller can be used carefully to remove them.
