FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Gene 1/4 Zip Microfleece provides good warmth for its weight, making it excellent as a mid-layer. For extremely cold conditions, it would be best worn under a heavier, insulated jacket or coat.
What is the fit like?
This fleece is designed as a standard fit for men, intended for comfortable layering. Refer to sizing charts if available for specific measurements.
Can I wear this as an outer layer in light rain?
While the polyester offers some minimal resistance, this fleece is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is best used as a layering piece or for dry conditions. For rain, an outer waterproof jacket is recommended.
How does the 1/4 zip function help?
The quarter-zip allows you to open the neck area for ventilation when you get too warm, or zip it up fully for more warmth and protection against the wind around your neck.
What is the material composition?
The fleece is made from 100% Polyester.
How should I wash this fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) on a standard setting. Avoid bleach and high heat for drying or ironing. Washing inside out can help preserve the fabric's surface.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels staticy
Polyester can sometimes generate static. Try using a fabric softener in the wash or a dryer sheet when drying on a low setting. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.
Pilling or bobbling on the surface
Some pilling is normal with fleece over time. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid excessive abrasion with rough surfaces.
