Karrimor Fleece Jacket - Blue

No, the Karrimor Fleece Jacket is not waterproof. It is designed to provide insulation and warmth but offers minimal protection against rain. For wet conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

This microfleece jacket provides lightweight, effective warmth primarily as a mid-layer. Its insulating construction traps body heat. Its warmth level is suitable for cool to cold conditions when used as part of a layering system.

Yes, you can wear it as an outer layer in mild, dry, and calm weather. However, it is not windproof and will not protect you from rain, so an additional shell is recommended for adverse conditions.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can diminish the fleece's insulating properties. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent damage to the fibers.

Info needed: Please check product listings for available color variants. This specific guide is for the Blue variant.

When used as a key component in a proper layering system, including a warm base layer and an insulated, windproof/waterproof outer shell, this fleece can contribute significantly to warmth in very cold weather. It is not designed to be worn alone in extreme cold.

As it is 100% polyester, the jacket is highly resistant to shrinking. However, using high heat during washing or drying can damage the fibers or cause slight deformation, so always follow the care instructions.

Pilling is common with fleece over time. To reduce it, wash inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, use a fabric shaver or a de-fuzzing tool to carefully remove them.

This can happen from fiber compression. Try washing with a small amount of mild detergent and tumble drying on a very low heat with a few clean tennis balls. Avoid over-washing or using fabric softener.

Static is common with synthetic fibers. To minimize it, avoid over-drying in a machine. You can also use anti-static sprays or dryer sheets (use sparingly, as they can affect performance) during the drying process.

Ensure you are washing it regularly according to care instructions. For stubborn odors, try soaking the jacket in a solution of warm water and a cup of white vinegar for 30 minutes before washing. Always rinse thoroughly.
