Troubleshooting
Fleece appears to be pilling
This can sometimes occur with fleece. Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly avoiding high heat drying and using softeners. Gentle washing and air drying can help minimize pilling.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat and not bunched. Check for any stray threads caught in the zipper mechanism. Closing the zip fully before washing can prevent damage.
Reduced warmth after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Ensure you are not using bleach or high heat settings for drying.
