FAQs

What is 'grid fleece' and how does it work?

Grid fleece features a unique geometric pattern woven into the fabric. This creates small channels and raised squares that trap air, providing excellent insulation by holding onto body heat. It also helps with breathability, making it comfortable during various activity levels.

How should I wash my Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece?

You should machine wash your fleece at 30°C. For best results, wash with similar colors. Avoid using bleach, tumble drying, ironing, or dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's integrity.

Is this fleece suitable for cold weather?

Yes, the unique grid fleece texture provides excellent insulation, making it very suitable for cold weather. It performs best as a mid-layer for active use or as a warm outer layer in milder, dry conditions.

What materials is the Newark fleece made from?

The Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is made from 88% Recycled Polyester and 12% Viscose, incorporating sustainable materials into its design.

Does this fleece have a specific fit?

While not explicitly stated for this exact model, Weird Fish fleeces typically feature a comfortable, regular fit designed for ease of movement and effective layering over other garments.

Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer?

Yes, the Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. Its insulating properties and stylish design make it suitable for casual wear or light outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff or rough after washing

Ensure you are using the recommended 30°C machine wash cycle. Avoid overloading the washing machine. Using a fabric softener suitable for synthetic materials might help, but always test on a small area first.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appearing on the surface

Pilling can sometimes occur with fleece over time. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or a lint brush designed for clothing. Washing the fleece inside out can also help reduce friction and pilling.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, wax, or even a graphite pencil lead along the teeth of the zipper. Work the zipper up and down gently a few times to distribute the lubricant.

Color appears to be fading

Always wash with similar colors to prevent color bleed or fading. Using a detergent specifically designed for colored garments and adhering to the 30°C wash temperature can help preserve the vibrancy.

For best results and to prevent color fading, wash with similar colors. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. - Drying: Air drying is recommended to preserve the fleece's texture and prevent damage. Avoid tumble drying. - Ironing: Do not iron.
