Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zip is free of debris. Gently try to move it back and forth. If necessary, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the teeth of the zipper.
Fleece lining feels less warm after washing.
Ensure the garment was not exposed to excessive heat during washing or drying, which can damage fleece fibers. Check care label for correct washing and drying temperatures. Avoid fabric softeners which can reduce fleece warmth.
