FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the mini grid fleece?
The mini grid fleece is designed to trap body heat effectively while allowing moisture vapor to escape, providing warmth without sacrificing breathability during activity.
Is this fleece suitable as an outer layer in winter?
While it provides warmth, it is best used as a mid-layer in colder conditions. For very cold or wet weather, it should be worn under a waterproof or windproof outer shell.
How should I wash the Freesdale fleece?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
What kind of outdoor activities is this fleece best for?
It is ideal for hill walks, cool-weather adventures, hiking, and general outdoor activities where lightweight warmth and breathability are needed.
Does the fleece have any water-resistance properties?
The product information does not specify water-resistance. It is primarily designed for warmth and breathability, and should be paired with a waterproof outer layer if protection from rain is required.
How many pockets does the fleece have, and are they secure?
The fleece features one chest pocket and two lower pockets, all of which are secured with zippers for safe storage.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Ensure you have not used fabric softener, as it can mat the fleece fibers and reduce insulation. Wash again with a mild detergent only.
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and try again.
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid abrasion with rough surfaces.
