FAQs

Is the Karrimor Micro Fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The Karrimor Micro Fleece provides excellent warmth for its weight in cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is most effective when used as part of a layering system, worn over a base layer and under a protective outer shell.

Can I wear this fleece in the rain?

No, the Karrimor Micro Fleece is not waterproof. It will absorb water. For rainy conditions, you should wear a waterproof outer jacket over the fleece to stay dry.

How should I choose the right size?

For optimal layering and comfort, choose your standard clothing size. If you plan to wear very thick layers underneath or prefer a looser fit, you might consider sizing up. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.

What kind of activities is this fleece best for?

This fleece is ideal for a variety of activities including hiking, walking, camping, casual outdoor use, and everyday wear when you need lightweight warmth. It's also great for travel due to its packability.

Does the quarter-zip offer enough ventilation?

Yes, the quarter-length zip is specifically designed to allow you to quickly regulate your body temperature. You can zip it up to keep warm or partially unzip it to dump excess heat when you become more active.

Will this fleece shrink in the wash?

As it's 100% polyester, the Karrimor Micro Fleece is highly resistant to shrinking, especially when washed in cold water and dried on a low heat setting or air-dried, as recommended.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft or matted after washing.

Ensure you are washing on a cold setting and avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry, gently fluffing the fleece once dry.

Excessive static cling.

Use an anti-static dryer sheet when tumble drying, or spray the fleece with an anti-static spray before wearing.

Zipper snagging or difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper with a small brush to remove debris. If needed, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax) carefully along the teeth.

Not feeling warm enough in cold conditions.

The micro fleece is primarily a mid-layer. Ensure you are layering it appropriately with a warm base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell for colder or windier conditions.

Pilling (small balls of fiber forming on the surface).

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle, avoid abrasive surfaces, and consider using a fabric shaver to carefully remove existing pills.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for effective layering.
  • Lightweight and easily packable, convenient for travel and outdoor activities.
  • Durable 100% polyester material for long-lasting wear.
  • Quick-drying properties due to polyester composition.
  • High neck and quarter-zip offer adaptable thermal regulation.
  • Classic design makes it suitable for both outdoor and casual wear.

Cons

  • Quarter-zip might not offer full wind protection compared to a full-zip jacket.
  • Not inherently water-resistant; requires an outer shell for wet conditions.
  • Polyester can sometimes be prone to static cling.
  • Breathability might be limited for high-intensity aerobic activities.
  • Limited pocket options due to simple design (Info needed: Confirm pocket count/type).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

No specific 'setup' is required for the Karrimor Micro Fleece. Simply unpack and wear. It's recommended to wash it before the first use to remove any manufacturing residues and enhance its softness.

Compatibility

  • Layering: This fleece is designed as an ideal mid-layer. Pair it with a moisture-wicking base layer underneath and a waterproof or windproof outer shell on top for optimal performance in varying weather conditions.
  • Activity: Suitable for hiking, walking, camping, casual wear, and general outdoor activities in cool weather.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the fleece's warmth and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage polyester fibers and lead to pilling.
  3. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can melt or damage the fleece material.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Fabric Softeners: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers of the fleece, reducing its ability to trap air and diminishing its warmth and breathability over time.
