Troubleshooting

Fleece pilling after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softener and wash dark colors separately. Gentle washing cycles and air drying can also help prevent pilling.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is fully zipped before washing. If it becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Item feels less warm than expected

This is a lightweight fleece designed for layering. For colder weather, add a more insulating layer over or under the fleece.
