FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece?
The primary purpose is to serve as a comfortable, warm mid-layer for casual wear and light outdoor activities, offering both style and next-to-skin comfort.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and comfort and would need to be worn under a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colours using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
'Anti-pill' means the fabric has been treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the garment maintain its smooth texture and appearance over time.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While it's soft enough for next-to-skin comfort, it's primarily designed as a mid-layer. It can be worn as a base layer if preferred, but typically a thinner material is used for the innermost layer.
What kind of fit does this fleece have?
It features a regular fit, which is a standard, comfortable cut that allows for easy movement and layering.
Are there other colour options available?
Yes, while this guide focuses on the Grey variant, other colour options such as Multicolor and Brown may be available from Peter Storm.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener during washing. If stiffness persists, try a low-heat tumble dry cycle.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth if needed.
Print design appears faded.
Avoid ironing directly on the printed areas. Ensure the garment is washed and dried according to the care instructions, favouring cooler temperatures and low-heat drying.
Fleece loses its softness.
The anti-pill finish helps maintain softness. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade the fabric's texture over time.
