FAQs

What is the main benefit of the anti-pilling finish?

The anti-pilling finish helps to maintain the smooth appearance of the fleece fabric over time, preventing the formation of small fuzz balls and ensuring the garment looks newer for longer.

How warm is this fleece?

The fleece is made from 170gsm polyester, providing a lightweight yet insulating layer suitable for mild to cool weather, or as a mid-layer for colder conditions.

Can I wear this in the rain?

This fleece is designed for warmth and comfort. It is not waterproof. For protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.

What kind of activities is this fleece suitable for?

It is ideal for casual wear, light outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, or camping, and as a comfortable layer for everyday use.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to the size chart provided. The product description includes specific chest measurements for UK sizes (e.g., UK 8: 32 in chest). It's recommended to measure your own chest and compare.

Is the embroidered detail raised?

The product description mentions embroidered detail and a logo, suggesting a slightly textured, raised design that is subtle rather than prominent.

What does '1/4 Zip' mean?

1/4 Zip refers to a zipper that extends about a quarter of the way down the front of the garment, typically from the neckline to the chest area. This allows for adjustable ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels rough after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as this can sometimes affect the feel of fleece. Air drying or low heat tumble drying is recommended over high heat.

Pilling has started to appear

While the fleece has an anti-pilling finish, excessive friction can still cause pilling. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive surfaces can help. For minor pilling, a fabric shaver can be used.

Zip is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zip is flat. Gently pull the zip up and down a few times. A small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil lead) applied to the teeth can help smooth operation.
