FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Karrimor Basecamp Fleece is made of polyester and is not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the fleece to preserve the integrity of the polyester material, though it is machine washable.
How many pockets does it have?
This model features one front zip pocket for small essentials.
Is the material heavy?
The fleece is designed to be lightweight and comfortable, making it perfect for layering without adding unnecessary bulk.
Does it have a hood?

Is the fit true to size?

Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is snagged in the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Lint accumulation on fabric
Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller to gently remove surface pilling that may occur after frequent washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karrimor Basecamp Fleece in optimal condition, machine wash it in cold water with similar colours. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic polyester fibers. Ensure the zipper is closed before laundering to protect both the garment and your washing machine drum. This fleece pairs excellently with standard casual trousers, denim jeans, or athletic joggers, making it highly compatible with most casual wardrobes.
