FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this microfleece?
The Gene 1/4 Zip Microfleece is designed as a lightweight, warm, and versatile layering piece for adult males, suitable for casual wear or outdoor activities in mild to cool weather.
How warm is this fleece compared to other materials?
It provides significant warmth for its weight due to the polyester microfleece material, making it warmer than a thin cotton shirt but less warm than a heavy wool sweater or down jacket.
Can I wear this in the rain?
While it offers some protection against light drizzle, it is not waterproof. It is best worn as a layer under a waterproof outer shell during wet conditions.
Is this fleece suitable for extreme cold?
For extreme cold, this microfleece is best utilized as a base or mid-layer, worn in conjunction with more insulated outer garments.
What does '1/4 Zip' mean?
'1/4 Zip' refers to the zipper length, which extends about a quarter of the way down the front of the garment, allowing for adjustable ventilation.
What is the benefit of the funnel neck?
The funnel neck provides extra coverage and warmth around the neck area, offering protection from wind and cold.
How should I care for the embroidered logo?
Follow the general care instructions for the garment. Avoid direct high heat on the embroidered area during ironing, and wash inside out to protect the stitching.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing.
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade fleece fibers. Tumble dry on low heat with a clean tennis ball to help restore loft.
Static electricity builds up.
Use a wool dryer ball or a damp cloth during the tumble dry cycle. You can also lightly spray the inside of the fleece with water or a static-reducing spray.
Colour seems dull after washing.
Wash inside out and with similar colours. Use a detergent formulated for colours and avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
