Karrimor Fleece Jacket - Black

The Karrimor Fleece Jacket provides excellent lightweight warmth, but for extreme cold, it should be used as part of a multi-layer system, ideally with a thermal base layer and a highly insulated, waterproof outer shell for optimal protection.

No, this jacket is made of 100% polyester microfleece and is not waterproof or water-resistant. It will absorb water, reducing its insulating properties. For rainy conditions, always wear a waterproof outer shell over it.

Wear it over a moisture-wicking base layer (e.g., synthetic or merino wool) to manage sweat. For colder or windier conditions, add a waterproof and windproof outer shell on top. This creates an effective system for temperature regulation and protection.

The fleece material offers limited wind resistance. While it provides some barrier, strong winds will penetrate it. For effective wind protection, you will need to wear a windproof outer layer over the fleece.

To maintain softness and loft, wash in cold water with a gentle cycle, avoid excessive agitation, and skip fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent over-drying and preserve fiber integrity.

The Karrimor Fleece Jacket is made from 100% Polyester, chosen for its warmth, durability, and easy-care properties.

This can happen if the fleece fibers become compacted or clogged. Ensure you're washing it correctly (cold water, mild detergent) and avoid using fabric softeners, which can leave residues. Tumble dry on low or air dry to help restore its loft.

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece due to friction. To minimize it, wash the jacket inside out. You can gently remove existing pills using a fabric shaver or a lint brush designed for this purpose.

This is often due to static electricity. Try adding a dryer sheet during the drying cycle. A lint roller is effective for quick removal of lint and hair before wearing.

Using a small amount of liquid fabric softener during the wash cycle or a dryer sheet in the dryer can help reduce static cling. Ensuring the garment is not over-dried can also help.
