FAQs

Is the Karrimor Fleece Jacket waterproof?

No, the Karrimor Fleece Jacket is made from polyester microfleece and is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is designed for warmth and breathability as a mid-layer. You will need to wear a waterproof outer shell over it for protection in wet conditions.

How should I wash this fleece jacket?

Machine wash cold (up to 30°C) with similar colors using a mild detergent. Turn the jacket inside out to help prevent pilling. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, hang dry to preserve the fabric's integrity.

Can I wear this jacket as an outer layer?

Yes, in mild, dry, and calm conditions, the Karrimor Fleece Jacket can be worn as an outer layer for warmth and comfort. However, for windy, rainy, or colder weather, it is best used as an insulating mid-layer under a protective outer shell.

What is microfleece?

Microfleece is a lightweight, soft, and breathable synthetic fabric, typically made from polyester. It has a fine, short pile that traps air effectively to provide warmth without bulk, making it an excellent material for mid-layer garments.

Will this jacket shrink?

Polyester fleece is generally resistant to shrinking. However, exposure to high heat during washing or drying can damage the fibers or alter the garment's shape. Always follow the care instructions, particularly regarding drying temperatures.

Is this fleece jacket breathable?

Yes, the microfleece material is designed to be breathable, allowing excess heat and moisture vapor to escape. This helps to regulate body temperature and keeps you comfortable during active use.

What is the material composition of the jacket?

The Karrimor Fleece Jacket is made from 100% Polyester, providing lightweight warmth and durability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm or matted

Fleece can compress or mat over time, reducing its insulating properties. Ensure the jacket is clean; washing it according to care instructions can help restore loft. Avoid using fabric softener, which can build up and reduce breathability.

Pilling on the surface of the fabric

Pilling is common with fleece due to friction. Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller to carefully remove pills. To prevent future pilling, wash the jacket inside out and avoid friction with rough surfaces or other garments in the wash.

Static cling or crackling sensation

Polyester can build up static electricity, especially in dry environments. Use an anti-static spray or add a small amount of white vinegar to the rinse cycle during washing to reduce static.

Jacket is not repelling light moisture as expected

The Karrimor Fleece Jacket is not designed to be waterproof or water-resistant. Its primary function is warmth. For protection against rain or wet conditions, always wear a waterproof outer shell over the fleece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

There is no specific 'setup' required for your Karrimor Fleece Jacket. Simply unpackage it and it's ready to wear.

Compatibility

This fleece jacket is designed as a versatile mid-layer. It pairs well with:

  • Base Layers: Wear over moisture-wicking base layers (e.g., synthetic or merino wool t-shirts) to optimize thermal regulation and comfort.
  • Outer Shells: Combine with waterproof and windproof outer jackets or shells for complete protection in inclement weather. The lightweight design ensures it won't feel bulky under most standard outer layers.
  • Casual Wear: Easily integrates into everyday casual outfits for warmth and comfort.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your fleece jacket. Always refer to the garment's care label for the most accurate instructions.

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the polyester fibers.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang dry. High heat can damage fleece fibers and lead to shrinking or reduced loft. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid compressing it for extended periods, as this can reduce its insulating loft.
  • Pilling: To minimize pilling, wash the jacket inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans or towels.
