FAQs
What type of material is the Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece made from?
The fleece is primarily made from polyester, with a portion of recycled polyester included in its construction. The specific weave is a grid fleece.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the Weird Fish sizing guide for men's apparel. Consider if you prefer a snug fit for layering or a more relaxed feel, which might influence sizing up.
Is this fleece suitable for hiking in cold weather?
Yes, it serves as an excellent warm mid-layer for hiking in cool to cold conditions when paired with a base layer and a waterproof/windproof outer shell.
Can I wear this as an outer layer in light rain?

How do I care for the metal fish zip pull?

Are there similar products available?

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing.
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, which can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Check that the garment has not been exposed to high heat during washing or drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it up and down. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can help improve movement.
Pilling or excessive lint.
Some minor pilling can occur with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash inside out on a gentle cycle with like colors and avoid abrasive materials in the wash. Remove lint with a fabric brush.
