Karrimor Fleece Jacket - Black

No, the Karrimor Fleece Jacket is not waterproof. It is made from 100% polyester microfleece, which offers excellent insulation but only minimal resistance to light moisture. For protection in rain, you should wear a waterproof outer shell over it.

Yes, you can wear it as an outer layer in mild, dry, and non-windy conditions. However, for windy or wet weather, it's best utilized as a mid-layer underneath a protective outer shell.

This jacket is highly versatile. It's ideal as an outer layer in cool spring or autumn weather, and as a crucial mid-layer during colder winter months. Its adaptability makes it suitable for all seasons depending on your layering strategy.

Store your fleece jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. Hanging it will help maintain its shape and loft. Avoid compressing it for extended periods, as this can flatten the fibers and reduce its insulating ability.

Yes, fleece generally offers good breathability, allowing moisture vapor from sweat to escape, which helps regulate body temperature during activity. This makes it comfortable for active use as a mid-layer.

Yes, it is machine washable. For best results, wash cold on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or air dry. Avoid using fabric softeners to maintain the fabric's properties.

Ensure you are using the fleece as part of a proper layering system. Add a wicking base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell over the fleece for maximum insulation and protection.

Use a lint roller regularly. When washing, turn the jacket inside out and wash it separately from items that shed a lot of lint, such as towels.

To minimize pilling, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh abrasion. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove existing pills.

Static can build up in dry conditions. Try using an anti-static spray on the inside of the jacket or adding a small amount of distilled white vinegar (a natural fabric softener) to the rinse cycle when washing.
