FAQs
What is 'grid fleece'?
Grid fleece refers to a fabric where the fleece is woven with a raised grid pattern on the interior. This geometric structure creates air channels that trap body heat more effectively, providing superior warmth for its weight compared to traditional flat fleece.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece provides excellent insulation. For very cold weather, it is most effective as a mid-layer, worn over a base layer and under a protective outer jacket to maximize warmth and protect against wind and moisture.
Does it contain recycled materials?
Yes, this fleece is made from 88% Recycled Polyester, contributing to a more environmentally conscious choice.
How should I wash my Newark fleece?
Machine wash at 30°C. Avoid bleaching, ironing, or dry cleaning. It's best to air dry or tumble dry on a low setting to preserve the fabric.
What is the fit like?
The product information indicates an 'XL' size. While specific fit type isn't detailed, Weird Fish generally aims for a comfortable, practical fit. For precise measurements, refer to the brand's sizing chart if available.
Can I wear this as my outermost layer?
While you can wear it as an outermost layer in mild, dry conditions, it is primarily designed as an insulating layer. For windy, wet, or extremely cold environments, it's recommended to wear a windproof or waterproof outer shell over it.
What is the material composition?
The Newark fleece is made from 88% Recycled Polyester and 12% Viscose.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature. The Newark fleece is designed for insulation and works best when paired with suitable base layers or an outer shell in very cold or windy conditions. Check that the zipper is fully closed for maximum heat retention.
Material seems to be shedding or pilling
Pilling can sometimes occur with fleece, especially with friction. To minimize this, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents or abrasive surfaces. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove any pills that form.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate
Occasionally, zippers can become stiff. Try gently rubbing a pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper mechanism.
Color appears faded after washing
Always follow the care instructions precisely, particularly the 30°C machine wash temperature. Washing at higher temperatures or with harsh chemicals can contribute to color fading. Wash with similar colors.
