Craghoppers Womens National Trust Rosemary Overhead Fleece - Green - Size: 20

Recycled polyester borg refers to a type of synthetic fleece fabric that is made from recycled plastic materials, such as plastic bottles. 'Borg' describes its curly, textured pile, similar to sheepskin, offering warmth and a soft feel.

While fleece provides good insulation, it is generally not fully windproof. In windy conditions, you may want to wear a windproof outer shell over the fleece for optimal comfort.

The studded half placket features press studs (snaps) that allow you to open or close the neck area. This provides a way to adjust ventilation and ease of putting on/taking off the fleece, without a full-length zipper.

The collaboration with the National Trust means that the product design often draws inspiration from the UK's natural landscapes and heritage sites. A portion of sales from these items typically supports the National Trust's conservation work.

This fleece is not waterproof or water-resistant. While it may offer very minor protection against a light drizzle, it is best worn in dry conditions or under a waterproof jacket if rain is expected.

The relaxed fit is designed to offer a comfortable, slightly looser silhouette, providing ample room for movement and layering. Most users find it true to their usual size, offering a comfortable, non-restrictive feel.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding excessive heat during drying. Air drying can often help maintain softness. Fabric softener can be used sparingly if desired, but may impact breathability over time.

Pilling is common with fleece materials. To reduce it, wash the fleece inside out. You can carefully remove existing pills with a fabric shaver or a lint brush.

This fleece is designed for mild to cool weather or as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal base layers underneath and consider pairing it with a protective outer shell jacket for added insulation and wind blocking.
