Karrimor Fleece Jacket - Black

No, the Karrimor Fleece Jacket is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is designed primarily for warmth and insulation. For protection against rain or snow, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

While it provides excellent warmth, it's best used as a mid-layer. In strong winds or wet winter conditions, you will need a windproof and waterproof outer layer over the fleece to stay fully protected and comfortable.

Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and wash inside out. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat to best preserve the fabric and its insulating properties. Do not bleach or iron.

The Karrimor Fleece Jacket is made from 100% Polyester microfleece, which is known for its lightweight warmth and durability.

The fleece material offers minimal wind protection. For windy conditions, it is crucial to wear a windproof outer layer over the jacket to prevent heat loss.

Yes, the Karrimor Fleece Jacket is available in various color options including Grey and Blue, in addition to Black.

While it offers warmth, its breathability might be limited during very high-exertion activities, potentially leading to moisture retention. For intense activities, consider layering with highly breathable base layers and an adaptable outer shell.

The fleece's loft might be compressed from wear or improper washing. Ensure you are washing according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener, and tumble drying on low to fluff up the fibers. A thorough, gentle wash can restore some loft.

Pilling is common with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the jacket inside out with similar fabrics and avoid abrasive surfaces. Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to carefully remove existing pills.

Static can build up in synthetic fabrics. Try using a dryer sheet during tumble drying on a low setting, or air dry to reduce static. For lint, a lint roller is effective. Washing inside out also helps.

Although uncommon for polyester, if you notice dye bleeding, wash the jacket separately or with very dark colors for the first few washes. Ensure cold water is used.
