Craghoppers Rosemary Overhead - Green - 18

Yes, the Craghoppers Womens National Trust Rosemary Overhead Fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester for both the main fabric and trim, aligning with sustainable manufacturing practices and helping to reduce plastic waste.

The collaboration with the National Trust means that a portion of the sales from this fleece contributes directly to the National Trust's vital conservation work, helping to protect natural spaces and heritage sites.

This fleece is ideal for cool to mild weather conditions. It serves excellently as an outer layer on a chilly autumn day or as a warm insulating mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in colder, wetter environments.

Yes, it is machine washable. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions, but generally, machine wash at 30°C (cold), air dry or tumble dry on low, and do not iron or bleach.

'Borg' refers to a type of fleece fabric that often mimics the texture of sheepskin or lamb's wool. It is characterized by its soft, curly, and plush texture, providing excellent warmth and a cozy feel.

This fleece is designed with a 'Relaxed' fit. For the best fit, it's recommended to consult the specific Craghoppers size guide available on their website, though it generally aligns with standard UK women's dress sizes.

The Craghoppers Womens National Trust Rosemary Overhead Fleece has a 24-inch length, providing good coverage without being overly long, suitable for layering and active wear.

This fleece features a 'Relaxed' fit. Ensure you selected your correct UK women's dress size (e.g., Size 18). If the fit is not as expected, compare your measurements with the Craghoppers size guide. An ill-fitting garment may compromise comfort and thermal performance.

While providing good warmth, this fleece is designed for cool to cold conditions, often as part of a layering system. For very cold weather, ensure you wear an appropriate thermal base layer underneath and consider an insulated outer layer over the fleece for optimal warmth.

Pilling can occur with fleece fabrics due to friction. To minimize this, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle, and avoid washing with abrasive items like towels or denim. A fabric shaver or lint remover can carefully remove existing pills.

Overstretching or exposure to high heat (e.g., during drying or ironing) can damage elastic components. Always follow the specified care instructions (low heat drying, no ironing). If damage is severe, it may be due to prolonged wear and tear.

Ensure you are washing the fleece promptly after use, especially if worn during activity. Use a suitable amount of detergent. If odors persist, a sports-specific detergent designed for synthetic fabrics or an additive like white vinegar during the rinse cycle may help (check garment label first).
