FAQs

Is the Karrimor Fleece Jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is designed for warmth and is not waterproof. It should be worn as part of a layering system with a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions to provide protection from rain and moisture.

Can I wear this jacket as a standalone outer layer?

Yes, in dry and mild to cool conditions, it functions well as an outer layer. However, for colder, windy, or wet weather, it is best utilized as a mid-layer under a protective outer shell for optimal performance and comfort.

What kind of activities is this jacket suitable for?

It is suitable for a wide range of activities where lightweight warmth is desired, such as hiking, walking, camping, casual wear, and general outdoor recreation in cool, dry conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

Info needed: Refer to the Karrimor sizing chart for accurate measurements. Generally, consider your typical jacket size and allow for comfortable layering underneath if desired.

What is 'microfleece'?

Microfleece is a very fine, lightweight fleece fabric made from polyester. It's known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, softness, and breathability, making it ideal for mid-layers.

Will this jacket protect me from the wind?

While fleece offers some protection, this jacket is not specifically windproof. In windy conditions, we recommend wearing a dedicated windproof outer shell over the fleece to prevent heat loss and ensure comfort.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm over time

Lint and dirt can compress the fleece fibers, reducing their insulating loft. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions to restore its warmth. Ensure it's thoroughly dry.

Jacket is pilling (small balls of fiber on the surface)

Pilling is common with fleece over time. To reduce it, wash the jacket inside out. For existing pills, gently remove them with a fabric shaver or a lint roller designed for pilling.

Jacket retains odors after washing

Polyester can sometimes trap odors. Try washing with a sports-specific detergent or adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.

Static cling is an issue

Static cling can occur with synthetic fabrics. Try air drying instead of tumble drying, or use dryer balls designed to reduce static without harsh chemicals.

This Karrimor Fleece Jacket requires no setup; it's ready to wear straight out of the package. It's designed for seamless integration into a layering system. Pair it with a moisture-wicking base layer underneath to manage perspiration and an appropriate outer shell (such as a waterproof or windproof jacket) over it for protection against the elements. This layering approach allows you to adapt to changing weather conditions by adding or removing layers.

Care Instructions

To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, follow these general care guidelines for polyester fleece:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) with similar colors on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the fleece's ability to wick moisture and trap heat.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry low or hang to air dry. High heat can damage polyester fibers and affect the fleece's loft.
  4. Bleaching/Ironing: Do not bleach or iron. Bleach can damage the fabric, and ironing will melt the synthetic fibers.
  5. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.
