FAQs
Is this hoodie waterproof?
No, the Polartec Fleece is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a waterproof barrier. It is best used as a mid-layer under a rain jacket.
Can I use bleach on this hoodie?
No, avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, as they can damage the specialized synthetic fleece fibers.
Does the fleece pill over time?
While Polartec is high-quality, some minor pilling may occur with heavy use. Washing inside out can help minimize friction.
What age range is the 7-8 size for?
The size 7-8 is generally designed to fit children within the 7 to 8-year-old age demographic.
Is this garment unisex?
Yes, the design and fit are neutral and suitable for all children.
Troubleshooting
Static electricity buildup
Use a gentle fabric softener during the wash cycle or rub a dryer sheet lightly over the inside of the fleece.
Zipper sticking
Ensure no loose fabric is caught in the teeth; you can lightly rub a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate them.
