FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Karrimor Basecamp Fleece is made from polyester and is not water-resistant or waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell.
Can I tumble dry the fleece?
We recommend air-drying the garment to prolong its life, though you should always check the care label on the specific tag for manufacturer-recommended drying settings.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyester construction provides natural breathability, making it comfortable for moderate activity levels without causing overheating.
What is the fit of the XXL size?
The XXL size is designed for a relaxed, comfortable fit, allowing enough room to comfortably wear a base layer or long-sleeved shirt underneath.
Does this fleece have a hood?
No, this specific model features a high collar design without a hood, which allows for easier layering under hooded jackets.
How do I secure the front pocket?
The front pocket is equipped with a secure zip closure, ensuring items stored inside stay in place during movement.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck
Ensure the zipper track is clean of lint or fabric debris; applying a small amount of clear candle wax or graphite to the teeth can improve glide.
Fabric shows signs of pilling
Wash the garment inside out and use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface pills caused by friction during daily wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karrimor Basecamp Fleece in optimal condition, always consult the internal care label before washing. Generally, this garment should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid using harsh bleach or heavy-duty fabric softeners to maintain the integrity of the polyester fibers. When layering, the fleece is compatible with most standard-fit shells and jackets. Ensure you size correctly based on your typical needs; this XXL variant offers a relaxed, comfortable cut suitable for layering over a thicker base layer.
