As a mid-layer, it provides good warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best worn in combination with a base layer and a protective outer shell.
How should I wash this fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning. Do not use fabric softeners.

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected.
Ensure you are layering it appropriately for the temperature. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can impede the fleece's ability to trap heat. Check for any damage or wear to the fabric.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can help lubricate the zipper track.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece and can be minimized by washing inside out on a gentle cycle and avoiding high-heat drying. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove pills.
