Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Argyll Heavy Fleece is an ideal choice for outdoor workers and tradespeople who require a reliable, warm insulating layer for daily use. Crafted from durable 400g polar fleece, this garment excels at trapping heat while maintaining ease of movement through its generous traditional fit. While it offers excellent thermal regulation and high-quality construction, users should note that as a heavy-weight fleece, it is primarily intended for colder environments rather than high-intensity aerobic activity where excessive sweat might accumulate.

FAQs
Is the Portwest Argyll fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is designed for warmth and insulation, not water resistance. We recommend pairing it with a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
How should I wash this fleece to prevent pilling?
Wash it inside out on a cold, gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
Does the fleece run true to size?
The Portwest Argyll features a generous, traditional fit. If you prefer a snug fit, you may consider sizing down, though most users find their standard size works well for layering.
Can this be worn in high-intensity activities?
While breathable, the 400g fabric is very warm. It is best suited for steady-state outdoor work rather than high-intensity cardiovascular exercise.
What is the benefit of the anti-pill finish?
The anti-pill finish keeps the fabric surface smooth by preventing the small knots and fibers that often accumulate on lower-quality fleece after repeated wear and washing.
Troubleshooting
Static buildup in dry conditions
Use a light anti-static spray or increase humidity in your work area to reduce friction.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zipper is clear; if it persists, use a small amount of silicone lubricant on the zip teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fleece does not require any specialized setup—simply put it on and adjust the hem drawcord to your preference. Regarding compatibility, it layers effectively under high-visibility jackets or standard rain shells. To maintain the integrity of the 400g fleece, wash the garment in cool water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the fleece. Hang drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage and to keep the fabric fibers soft and durable.
