FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Karrimor Micro Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and moisture management, not as a shell for rain protection.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While it is soft, it is designed as a mid-layer. It is best worn over a dedicated moisture-wicking base layer for optimal performance.
Does it shrink in the wash?
Polyester is resistant to shrinking, provided you follow the care label instructions and wash on a cool setting.
Is this fleece suitable for winter sports?
It serves as an excellent mid-layer for winter sports like skiing when worn beneath a technical waterproof jacket.
How do I choose the right size?
The Karrimor Micro Fleece follows standard sizing. If you plan to layer it over a thick sweater, you may prefer a slightly roomier fit, though it is designed to be slim-fitting for layering.
Troubleshooting
Pilling or small lint balls on the surface
Use a fabric shaver or gentle lint roller to remove surface pilling caused by friction.
Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes
Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce the fleece's natural softness and breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no special setup. To ensure the longevity of your fleece, machine wash it on a cool cycle with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the technical properties of the synthetic fibers. Always air dry the fleece away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from losing its shape or elasticity. It is compatible with most standard outdoor shells and fits comfortably under heavier parkas for cold-weather layering.
