FAQs

Is the Karrimor Micro Fleece waterproof?

No, the Karrimor Micro Fleece is made from 100% polyester microfleece, which is not waterproof or water-resistant. For protection against rain or snow, it should be worn as an insulating layer under a waterproof outer jacket.

Can I wear this fleece in very cold weather?

While it provides good warmth, for very cold weather, it's best used as a mid-layer within a comprehensive layering system. Combine it with a warm base layer and an insulated, weatherproof outer shell for optimal protection.

Does this fleece have pockets?

The Karrimor Micro Fleece features a classic, minimalist design and does not include pockets.

How should I wash my Karrimor Micro Fleece?

Machine wash cold with similar colors. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

What is the material composition of the fleece?

The Karrimor Micro Fleece is made from 100% Polyester, offering lightweight warmth and durability.

Is this fleece suitable for hiking?

Yes, its lightweight design, warmth, and quarter-zip ventilation make it an excellent choice for hiking and other outdoor activities, especially when layered appropriately.

Troubleshooting

Fleece isn't providing enough warmth.

The Karrimor Micro Fleece is designed as a mid-layer or for mild conditions. For colder temperatures, consider adding a warmer base layer underneath or a more insulated outer shell over the fleece to create a more effective layering system.

Static cling is occurring with the fleece.

Static can build up on polyester. Try washing the fleece with an anti-static laundry additive or using an anti-static spray before wearing. Air drying can also help reduce static compared to tumble drying.

Fleece feels less soft or has started to pill.

Pilling can occur with fleece over time, especially in high-friction areas. To reduce pilling, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents. For existing pills, use a fabric shaver or lint roller to carefully remove them.

Quarter zip is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. If it remains stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite pencil lead can be applied to the teeth to improve movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for comfortable wear.
  • Versatile as a mid-layer or light outer layer.
  • Durable and quick-drying 100% polyester material.
  • Quarter zip allows for adjustable ventilation.
  • High neck provides additional warmth and protection.
  • Soft and comfortable against the skin.

Cons

  • Not waterproof or water-resistant; requires an outer shell in wet weather.
  • May not provide sufficient warmth as a standalone outer layer in very cold or windy conditions.
  • Lacks pockets, which some users might prefer for storage.
  • Quarter zip offers less ventilation flexibility than a full-zip fleece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Karrimor Micro Fleece requires no special setup. It's ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply put it on and adjust the quarter zip to your comfort.

Compatibility

  • Layering: This micro fleece is highly compatible with a three-layer system. Wear it over a moisture-wicking base layer and under a waterproof or windproof outer shell.
  • Activities: Suitable for a wide range of activities including hiking, camping, walking, cycling, and general outdoor recreation. Its classic design also makes it a versatile addition to any casual wardrobe.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your fleece. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.

  • Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Polyester dries quickly, so air drying is often sufficient and helps preserve the fabric.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage the fleece fibers.
  • Other: Do not dry clean. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the wicking properties and cause build-up on the fleece fibers over time.
