Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Wearing
This fleece is designed for immediate wear. Simply pull it over your head. The 1/4 zip allows you to adjust the neckline for personal comfort and warmth. For optimal warmth, wear it over a base layer like a t-shirt. For protection against the elements, it's easily layered under a waterproof or windproof outer shell.
Compatibility
The Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is highly versatile and compatible with various wardrobes:
- Base Layers: Wear comfortably over cotton, merino wool, or synthetic t-shirts.
- Outerwear: Fits well under most jackets, including waterproof shells, puffer jackets, or vests.
- Bottoms: Pairs effectively with jeans, chinos, or hiking trousers for a complete casual or outdoor look.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your fleece, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's wicking and insulating properties over time.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry flat to maintain its shape and prevent damage to the grid texture. Avoid high heat.
- Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can melt the synthetic fibers and damage the fabric.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach, as this can degrade the material and colors.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
