FAQs

How does the 'warmth-locking grid fleece' technology work?

The grid fleece features a unique geometric weave on the fabric's interior. This structure creates numerous small air pockets that efficiently trap your body heat, forming an insulating layer that keeps you warmer without adding significant bulk.

Can I wear this fleece as an outer jacket?

Yes, on mild, dry days, the Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece can certainly be worn as an outer layer. However, it is not windproof or waterproof, so for colder, windy, or wet conditions, it's best utilized as a warm mid-layer under a protective outer shell.

What is the material composition of the fleece?

The Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is made from 88% Polyester and 12% Viscose, providing a blend that is both warm, soft, and durable for everyday wear.

Does this fleece have pockets?

The product description does not specify the inclusion of pockets on the Weird Fish Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece. Please refer to product images or further product details if pockets are a key requirement for you.

What is the recommended washing temperature?

It is machine washable. For best care and to maintain the fabric's integrity, we recommend washing in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid hot water.

What is the fit of the Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece?

This fleece features a 'Regular' apparel fit type, designed to provide a comfortable and unrestrictive silhouette that is suitable for layering and everyday wear.

Is this fleece suitable for all seasons?

While it provides excellent warmth, it is most suited for cooler weather conditions, such as autumn, winter, and spring. In warmer summer months, it might be too warm unless used in cooler evenings or higher altitudes.

Troubleshooting

Fleece doesn't feel warm enough in very cold conditions.

This fleece is designed as an effective mid-layer. In extremely cold or windy conditions, ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer layer on top for optimal warmth and protection.

Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.

Gently rub a graphite pencil or a small amount of zipper lubricant (like silicone spray) along the teeth of the zipper. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper path.

Fabric appears to be pilling or forming small balls.

Pilling can occur with fleece materials due to friction. To minimize this, wash the fleece inside out. You can also use a fabric shaver or a lint brush designed for removing pills to restore the garment's smooth appearance.

Fleece has a strange odour after washing.

Ensure the fleece is completely dry before storing it. Washing with a cup of white vinegar added to the rinse cycle can help eliminate lingering odours. Avoid using excessive detergent, which can build up in the fabric.
