FAQs
Is the Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece waterproof?
No, the Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is designed for insulation and warmth, not waterproofing. For wet conditions, we recommend wearing a waterproof outer layer over it.
Can I tumble dry this fleece?
You can tumble dry on a very low heat setting, but air drying flat is recommended to best preserve the fabric's integrity and prevent potential shrinkage or damage from high heat.
What activities is this fleece best suited for?
It's ideal for a wide range of activities in cool to cold weather, including hiking, camping, casual walks, or as an everyday layering piece for warmth and comfort.
Does this fleece contain any animal products?
The fleece is made from 88% Recycled Polyester and 12% Viscose. These are synthetic and plant-based fibers, respectively, so it does not contain animal products.
How do I maintain the grid texture and insulation?
To maintain the grid texture and insulating properties, always wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat during drying. Do not use fabric softeners excessively, as they can sometimes flatten the fibers.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, the Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is available in various colors, each featuring a contrasting inner neck. Please check our product listings for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than before.
Ensure you are washing according to instructions (30° Machine Wash). Fabric softeners can sometimes build up and reduce fleece's insulating properties. Try washing without softener or using a specific fleece wash.
Pilling (small balls of fiber) appearing on the surface.
Pilling can occur with fleece, especially in high-friction areas. To minimize, wash inside out with similar fabrics. You can carefully remove pills with a fabric shaver or lint roller.
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it's still stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite pencil lead can help.
Fleece has shrunk after washing.
This usually happens due to washing at too high a temperature or tumble drying on high heat. Always adhere to the 30°C machine wash and air dry or low tumble dry recommendations.
