FAQs

What is the primary function of the zigzag fabric?

The zigzag fabric is designed to trap body heat more effectively, enhancing warmth retention while remaining breathable for comfort during activity.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in light rain?

While the fabric offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It is best suited as a midlayer or an outer layer in dry, cool conditions. For rain, a waterproof jacket should be worn over it.

How effective is the UV protection?

The fleece provides UPF 50+ (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) shielding, which blocks approximately 98% of harmful UV rays.

Is the antibacterial treatment permanent?

The antibacterial odour control treatment is designed to be durable, but its effectiveness may diminish over extended periods of wear and washing. Following care instructions helps maintain its longevity.

What temperature range is this fleece suitable for?

As a midlayer, it's suitable for a wide range of temperatures, typically from cool (around 10-15°C) to moderately cold conditions when combined with appropriate base and outer layers. It's effective for keeping warm during exertion in cooler weather.

Does it have a full zip or is it a pullover?

This model is a midlayer and typically features a full-length zip for easy ventilation and layering, though specific product variations might exist. This guide is based on a standard midlayer design.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after several washes

Fleece can lose some loft over time. Ensure you are following care instructions strictly. Avoid fabric softeners which can coat the fibers and reduce warmth.

Zipper pocket is difficult to open/close

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth if it remains stiff.

Garment feels restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The SEAMSMART technology is designed for freedom of movement, so significant restriction may indicate an undersized garment.
