Full details

Its key benefit is the warmth-locking grid fleece that effectively retains heat, keeping you comfortable in cooler conditions. A potential consideration is that its specific fit and style might not suit everyone's layering preferences.

FAQs
What makes the grid fleece 'warmth-locking'?
The geometric shaping in the weave creates small pockets that trap air. This trapped air acts as an insulator, holding onto your body heat and preventing it from escaping, thus keeping you warmer.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is excellent as a mid-layer for warmth in cold weather or as an outer layer in milder conditions. For extreme cold, it is best layered under a heavier, insulated jacket.
Can I wear this directly against my skin?
Yes, the fleece material is designed to be comfortable against the skin. However, many users prefer to layer it over a t-shirt or base layer for added comfort and moisture management, especially during physical activity.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, usually available on their website or product listing. Measure your chest, waist, and sleeve length and compare them to the provided measurements for the 'L' size, which corresponds to the product description.
What is the purpose of the contrasting color on the inner neck?
The contrasting color on the inner neck is a design feature that adds a subtle visual detail and a pop of color when the 1/4 zip is worn partially open, enhancing the garment's overall aesthetic.
How does this fleece compare to the Rossten full zip grid fleece?
The Newark is a 1/4 zip pullover style, offering more basic insulation and easier layering. The Rossten is a full zip version, providing more adjustable ventilation and potentially a different fit or features, though both utilize grid fleece for warmth.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their ability to trap air and heat. Re-wash with a mild detergent only.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface
Pilling can occur with normal wear and washing. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove any existing pills.
