Karrimor Micro Fleece - Black

Yes, you can wear the Karrimor Micro Fleece as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. It's suitable for cool days or evenings when you need a light layer of warmth without significant exposure to wind or rain.

KS200 refers to Karrimor's proprietary micro fleece technology, indicating a specific fabric weight and construction designed to provide a good balance of warmth, breathability, and lightweight comfort, typically in the 200 gsm (grams per square meter) range.

Store your fleece clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. Hanging it or folding it neatly in a drawer or shelf is suitable. Avoid compressing it for extended periods, as this can affect its loft and insulating properties.

Yes, micro fleeces like this one are generally breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape. This helps prevent you from feeling clammy during active use. However, its breathability is balanced with its insulating properties.

Use a fabric softener (liquid or dryer sheet) during washing or drying. A static-reducing spray can also be applied before wearing. Ensure the fleece is not over-dried.

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. If pilling has already occurred, use a fabric shaver or a lint remover to carefully remove the pills.

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, graphite from a pencil, or even a bar of soap to the zipper teeth. Work the zipper up and down gently several times to distribute the lubricant.

While providing warmth, this micro fleece is a mid-layer. For colder conditions, ensure you are wearing an appropriate moisture-wicking base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell on top. Check for proper fit; an overly loose fit can reduce warmth retention.
