FAQs
What is the primary material of the fleece?
The main body is made from soft microfleece (70% polyester/30% polyester), with tough poplin panels (63% polyester/37% polyester).
Is this fleece waterproof?
The poplin panels have a PA coating, offering some resistance to light moisture, but the fleece is not fully waterproof. It is designed as a mid-layer for warmth and moderate protection.
How do I adjust the fit?
The half-zip neck allows for ventilation. The stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem helps maintain a snug fit to keep out drafts.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, it provides good warmth. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it under a heavier insulating jacket or a waterproof/windproof outer shell.
What activities is this fleece best suited for?
It is ideal for countryside walks, casual travel, and everyday wear, functioning well as a versatile mid-layer.
How should I care for the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's properties.
Does it have any pockets?
Yes, it features one zipped chest pocket for secure storage of small items.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the stretch binding at the collar, cuffs, and hem; it should provide a snug but comfortable fit.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. A small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil lead) can sometimes help lubricate the zipper.
Reduced warmth after washing.
Ensure the fleece is completely dry before wearing. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the loft and insulating properties of fleece.
