Product Information
Full details
The Karrimor KS200 Micro Fleece is an essential layering piece for adult men seeking a lightweight yet effective thermal solution for outdoor activities or casual everyday wear. Designed with high-quality polyester, it offers excellent heat retention without adding unnecessary bulk; however, users should note that as a micro-fleece, it is best utilized as a mid-layer rather than an outer shell in extreme wind or heavy rain.

Troubleshooting
Static electricity build-up

Fabric looking 'bobbly' or pilled
Use a fabric shaver to gently remove surface pilling; ensure you are not washing the fleece with abrasive garments like denim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karrimor Micro Fleece lasts for seasons to come, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical properties of the synthetic fibers.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting to prevent static build-up or fiber damage.
- Compatibility: This fleece pairs exceptionally well with a breathable waterproof jacket as the outer layer. In very cold conditions, it works best over a base layer for maximum moisture management.
- Storage: Fold the garment to prevent stretching the fabric over hangers for extended periods.
