FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Karrimor Fleece Jacket is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and insulation. For protection against rain or wet conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

Can I wear this as my only jacket in winter?

For mild winter days or as a casual layer, it can work. However, for colder temperatures, strong winds, or snow, it is recommended to use it as a mid-layer within a comprehensive layering system with a windproof and waterproof outer shell.

What is microfleece?

Microfleece is a lightweight, soft, synthetic fleece fabric, typically made from polyester. It's known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and breathability, making it ideal for insulating garments like this jacket.

How do I prevent pilling?

To help prevent pilling, wash your fleece jacket inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and line dry if possible, or tumble dry on very low heat.

What are the washing instructions?

Machine wash cold with similar colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

Is this jacket breathable?

Yes, polyester fleece is known for its breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape, which helps regulate body temperature during activity.

What gender is this jacket designed for?

While many fleece jackets are functionally unisex, this specific Karrimor Fleece Jacket is attributed for male adults.

Troubleshooting

Fleece is pilling or looking worn

Pilling is common with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, use a fabric shaver or lint brush carefully.

Jacket isn't providing enough warmth

Ensure you are using an effective layering system. This fleece is a mid-layer; pair it with a good base layer and an outer shell to block wind and retain heat more effectively.

Static cling when wearing the jacket

Static can build up on synthetic fabrics. Try using a fabric softener during washing or a dryer sheet during tumble drying to reduce static.

Jacket feels damp or isn't drying quickly

Ensure the garment is thoroughly wrung out before drying. For faster drying, hang in a well-ventilated area or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid overloading the dryer.

Setup: Simply wear it! As a mid-layer, put it on after your base layer and before your outer shell. Compatibility: This jacket is highly compatible with most outdoor layering systems.

Ensure sizing allows for comfortable movement when layered. Care: To maximize the lifespan and performance of your Karrimor Fleece Jacket: 1. Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. 2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to prevent excessive pilling and maintain the fleece's loft. Avoid high heat. 3. Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage polyester fibers. 4. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean. 5. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain its insulating loft.
