FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece half zip?
The garment is made from a super-soft brushed back cotton-mix fleece material.
How should I determine the right size, given the oversized fit?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance. Consider your usual size for a very relaxed fit, or size down if you prefer a less oversized look.
Is this suitable for intense running workouts?
While inspired by running heritage, the oversized fit and soft fleece are best suited for casual wear and light activities, not high-intensity training.
What does 'Trackside Collection' signify?
The Trackside Collection features sportswear staples with elevated designs, inspired by New Balance's decades of craftsmanship and quality in NB running gear.
How do I care for the embroidered graphic?
It is recommended to wash the garment inside out and avoid ironing directly on the embroidery to preserve its quality.
Can I wear this in wet weather?
This fleece is designed for warmth and comfort in dry or cool conditions. It is not waterproof or water-resistant.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers. Try a gentle tumble dry on low heat to restore fluffiness.
Garment seems to have shrunk
Ensure washing and drying instructions (cold water, low heat/hang dry) were followed strictly. High heat is the primary cause of shrinkage in cotton blends.
Embroidery is snagged or pulled
Carefully trim any snagged threads with sharp scissors. Avoid pulling on the snagged area. Consider washing inside out in a garment bag to protect the embroidery.
