Product Information
Full details
The Karrimor Basecamp Fleece is designed for adult men seeking a reliable, everyday layering piece suitable for casual outings or light outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is the combination of versatile, clean aesthetics and practical thermal comfort, making it a staple for transitional weather. However, users should note that as a lightweight fleece, it is best utilized as a mid-layer rather than a heavy-duty outer shell in extreme conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Karrimor Basecamp Fleece is designed for warmth rather than water resistance.
Can I tumble dry the fleece?
Please follow the instructions on the specific care label found inside the garment, though air drying is generally recommended to preserve fabric quality.
Does it have side pockets?
This model features a front zip pocket for essentials.
Is this fleece suitable for intense hiking?
It is better suited for light activities or casual wear rather than high-intensity technical mountaineering.
How should I choose the right size?
This model is available in standard men's sizing; if you prefer a looser fit for layering heavy clothes underneath, you may want to consider your standard size or slightly larger.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches on fabric
Ensure no loose fabric is trapped in the zip track; gently pull the zipper back and clear any debris.
Pilling occurs on the fabric surface after washing
Avoid washing with abrasive fabrics like denim or garments with velcro; turn the fleece inside out before putting it in the machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a garment, the fleece requires no setup, but proper care is essential to maintain the fabric's soft texture and structure. To clean the garment, machine wash it according to the specific instructions on the care label, typically using a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or high-heat drying, as these can degrade the fleece material over time. When layering, this piece is highly compatible with basic t-shirts or base layers and fits comfortably under most standard-fit jackets.
