FAQs

What does KS200 Micro Fleece mean?

KS200 Micro Fleece refers to Karrimor's proprietary fleece technology designed to provide optimal warmth and insulation in a lightweight fabric, making it effective at trapping body heat.

Is this fleece suitable for rainy weather?

No, the Karrimor Micro Fleece is not waterproof. It provides warmth but will absorb water in rainy conditions. It should be worn under a waterproof outer shell for protection from rain.

Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer?

Yes, in mild, dry conditions, it can be worn as an outer layer. For colder, windy, or wet conditions, it performs best as an insulating mid-layer beneath a protective jacket.

How should I wash my Karrimor Micro Fleece?

Machine wash cold or lukewarm on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's integrity.

Does this fleece have pockets?

Info needed: The product description does not specify if the Karrimor Micro Fleece includes pockets. Please check the product page or physical garment for this feature.

Is the fleece breathable for active use?

While 100% polyester provides good insulation, it may not be as breathable as some natural fibers during very high-intensity activities. The quarter-zip allows for some ventilation to help regulate body temperature.

Troubleshooting

Fleece doesn't feel warm enough

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath. For colder conditions, consider wearing it as a mid-layer with a protective outer shell. Check if the quarter-zip is fully fastened.

Static cling on the fleece

Wash the fleece with a small amount of fabric softener. You can also use an anti-static spray before wearing it. Ensure it's fully dry before wearing.

Fleece is pilling (small balls of fabric appearing)

Pilling can occur with wear and washing. To reduce it, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, gently remove them with a fabric shaver or lint brush.

Quarter-zip feels stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to work the zipper up and down a few times. If it persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) can sometimes help, applied carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

As a piece of apparel, the Karrimor Micro Fleece requires no specific 'setup'. Simply choose the correct size for a comfortable fit, ensuring it allows for a full range of motion, especially if you plan to wear it as a mid-layer.

Compatibility

This micro fleece is highly compatible with a layering system:

  • Base Layer: Wear over a moisture-wicking base layer to manage sweat and enhance thermal efficiency.
  • Outer Layer: It pairs well under waterproof or windproof jackets and shells for protection against the elements in colder or wetter conditions.
  • Activity: Suitable for hiking, trekking, walking, camping, and general casual wear in cool to cold environments.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Karrimor Micro Fleece:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold or lukewarm on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry flat or hang dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage polyester fibers.
  3. Bleaching: Do not use bleach, as it can degrade the fabric and color.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. Polyester fleece can melt or be damaged by direct heat.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Pilling: To minimize pilling, wash inside out and avoid washing with rougher fabrics (like denim or items with zippers/Velcro that could snag).

Always check the garment's specific care label for the most accurate instructions.
