Product Information
Full details
The Karrimor Fleece Jacket is an ideal mid-layer solution for adult men seeking lightweight insulation for outdoor activities or casual wear. Crafted from high-quality polyester microfleece, it excels at providing warmth without unnecessary bulk, making it a versatile component of any layering system; however, users should note that as a fleece garment, it lacks inherent windproofing or waterproofing, requiring an outer shell in harsh conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this is a fleece jacket designed for insulation and breathability. It is not water-resistant and should be worn under a waterproof shell in rainy weather.
Can I wear this as my primary jacket?
It is suitable as a primary jacket in cool, dry, and calm conditions. If it is windy or raining, an outer shell layer is recommended.
Does the fleece material shrink in the wash?
To prevent shrinkage, always wash in cool water and avoid using a tumble dryer. Air drying is the safest method.
What is the best way to layer this garment?
Wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath and a windproof or waterproof jacket over the top to create a complete weather-ready system.
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius with mild detergent.
Troubleshooting
Static buildup on the fabric
Reduce drying time in low-humidity environments or use a specialized static spray, as polyester is prone to static charge.
Pilling (small bobbles on the surface)
Use a fabric shaver or de-pilling tool gently to remove surface fuzz, which is a common occurrence in fleece materials after friction.
Reduced insulating performance
Wash the garment to remove body oils and perspiration that can flatten the fleece fibers; once clean and dry, the loft should return.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Karrimor Fleece Jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle (30 degrees Celsius) to protect the integrity of the fleece fibers.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking performance.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink synthetic materials and degrade the texture of the fleece.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket under heavy items for extended periods to maintain the 'loft' of the fleece.
