FAQs
What is the main purpose of this fleece?
The Peter Storm Bracken Full Zip Fleece is designed to provide warmth and comfort, functioning well as a mid-layer for outdoor activities or as a standalone jacket in milder weather.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
While it provides good warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer in very cold conditions, to be worn under a waterproof or insulated outer jacket. As an outer layer, it is more appropriate for mild to cool temperatures.
How do I ensure the best fit?
This fleece has a regular fit. Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider your preferred layering style. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, you might consider sizing up.
Can this fleece be machine washed?
Yes, it can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and ironing.
What does 'low bulk' mean in relation to the cuffs and hem?
'Low bulk' means the cuffs and hem are designed to be slim and unobtrusive. This prevents heat from escaping and allows for comfortable layering under other garments without adding extra volume.
Is the material environmentally friendly?
Yes, the fabric is made from 100% recycled polyester, which is an eco-conscious choice that repurposes materials.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the retailer or Peter Storm's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating ability. Ensure you are following the care instructions for washing and drying.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface
Pilling can occur with brushed fleece over time due to friction. This is a normal wear characteristic and does not affect the insulating properties. You can use a fabric shaver carefully to remove loose pills if desired.
