Troubleshooting
Fleece pilling or losing softness
Wash inside out on a delicate cycle with cold water and minimal detergent. Avoid high heat drying. Consider using a fleece-specific wash.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels less warm after washing
Check that no fabric softener was used, as this can reduce fleece loft. Ensure the fleece is fully dry before use.
