The Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece provides excellent insulation. For very cold conditions, it functions best as a warm mid-layer worn beneath a windproof and waterproof outer jacket to provide comprehensive protection.
Yes, the fleece is designed for comfort and can be worn directly against the skin. However, for active use where moisture wicking is desired, a technical base layer underneath might offer superior comfort and dryness.
The geometric grid pattern creates air pockets within the fabric. These air pockets effectively trap warm air close to your body, providing superior insulation and enhancing warmth without adding significant weight or bulk to the garment.
No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is primarily designed for warmth and breathability. For protection against rain or heavy snow, it should always be worn as an insulating layer under a waterproof outer shell.
The Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is made using recycled materials. This approach reduces the demand for new raw materials and contributes to a smaller environmental footprint during the manufacturing process.
We recommend referring to the brand's specific sizing chart for the most accurate fit. Generally, fleeces are designed for a comfortable fit that allows for easy layering without being overly baggy or restrictive.
No, do not iron this fleece. The synthetic fibers can melt or get damaged by high heat from an iron. Always follow the care instructions for washing and drying to maintain the fabric's integrity and performance.
The grid texture might be matted or clogged. Ensure you're washing it correctly, avoiding fabric softeners, and tumble drying on low or air drying. A gentle brushing after drying can sometimes help restore loft and air-trapping properties.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil or specialized zipper wax) to the teeth and gently work the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant.
Pilling is common with fleece over time, especially in high-friction areas. Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller designed for pilling to gently remove the small balls of fiber. Washing the garment inside out can also help minimize future pilling.
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.
