FAQs
Is the Karrimor Micro Fleece waterproof?
No, the Karrimor Micro Fleece is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a waterproof layer. For protection against rain or snow, we recommend wearing a waterproof outer shell over the fleece.
Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer?
Yes, you can wear this micro fleece as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. Its lightweight design and warmth make it comfortable for everyday wear or light activities when there's no precipitation or strong winds.
How should I wash my Karrimor Micro Fleece?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry to maintain its quality and prevent pilling or matting.
What season is this fleece most suitable for?
The Karrimor Micro Fleece is versatile and suitable for all seasons as part of a layering system. It's particularly effective as a mid-layer in cooler autumn and winter weather, and as an outer layer during mild spring and summer evenings.
Does this fleece come in other colors?
Yes, the Karrimor Micro Fleece is also available in other color options including Black, Blue, and Grey, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your style.
Is the Karrimor Micro Fleece breathable?
Yes, the 100% Polyester micro fleece material is designed to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape, which helps regulate your body temperature and keeps you comfortable during activity.
What material is the Karrimor Micro Fleece made from?
The Karrimor Micro Fleece is made from 100% Polyester, a durable and quick-drying synthetic fabric known for its excellent insulation properties.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft or appears matted after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding fabric softeners. High heat during drying can also contribute to matting; air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting.
Experiencing static cling when wearing the fleece.
Static cling is common with synthetic fabrics like polyester. To reduce this, air dry your fleece instead of tumble drying, or use a dryer sheet on the lowest heat setting if machine drying. An anti-static spray can also be applied.
Small balls of fiber (pilling) are forming on the surface.
Pilling can occur with friction. Wash the fleece inside out with similar fabrics to reduce abrasion. For existing pills, gently remove them with a fabric shaver or a lint remover designed for pilling.
Fleece doesn't seem to provide enough warmth.
Ensure you are layering appropriately. This micro fleece is designed for lightweight warmth and works best as a mid-layer in colder conditions or as an outer layer in mild, dry weather. Add a base layer underneath or a windproof/waterproof shell over top for increased warmth and protection.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the fleece's warmth, softness, and longevity. As it is made of 100% Polyester, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle. Wash with similar colors. It is recommended to turn the fleece inside out to protect the outer surface.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the polyester fibers.
- Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners. They can clog the fibers of the fleece, reducing its breathability and moisture-wicking properties, and may lead to pilling.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight and heat. High heat can damage polyester and cause shrinkage or matting.
- Ironing: Do not iron. High heat will melt or damage the polyester fibers.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
