Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor KS200 Micro Fleece is designed for individuals seeking a lightweight yet effective layer for warmth during outdoor activities or everyday wear. Its primary advantage lies in providing consistent warmth without bulk, making it an excellent layering piece; however, users should note that as 100% polyester, it is not inherently waterproof and performs best in dry conditions or when paired with an appropriate outer shell.

FAQs

Is the Karrimor Micro Fleece waterproof?

No, the Karrimor Micro Fleece is made from 100% polyester and is designed for warmth and insulation, not waterproofing. For wet conditions, it should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer jacket.

Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer?

Yes, in mild and dry conditions, the Karrimor Micro Fleece can be worn as an outer layer. However, for windy, rainy, or very cold weather, it's best utilized as an insulating mid-layer beneath a windproof or waterproof shell.

How do I choose the right size?

Info needed: It's always best to refer to the specific Karrimor sizing chart for this product, if available. Generally, consider your chest measurement and how you plan to layer it. If you intend to wear thick base layers underneath, you might consider sizing up.

What is the material composition?

The Karrimor Micro Fleece is made from 100% Polyester, offering durability, warmth, and easy care.

Will this fleece keep me warm in freezing temperatures?

While it provides good warmth for its weight, in freezing temperatures, the Karrimor Micro Fleece is most effective as part of a comprehensive layering system. Combine it with a thermal base layer and a protective outer shell for optimal warmth in very cold conditions.

Can I iron this fleece?

No, it is not recommended to iron the Karrimor Micro Fleece. The high heat can melt or damage the polyester fibers, affecting the fabric's texture and performance.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected

Ensure you are layering effectively. In colder conditions, wear a suitable base layer underneath and consider an outer shell to block wind and retain heat. Check if the fleece is clean, as dirt can reduce insulation.

Static electricity build-up

Wash the fleece with a fabric softener (specifically designed for synthetics if possible). Air drying instead of tumble drying can also help reduce static cling. Avoid over-drying in a machine.

Pilling (small balls of fiber on the surface)

To minimize pilling, wash the fleece inside out. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like towels or denim. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can carefully remove them without damaging the garment.

Quarter zip is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite or a specialized zipper wax) can help if it's consistently sticky.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Karrimor Micro Fleece requires no complex setup; simply put it on and adjust the quarter zip to your comfort. Ensure it fits comfortably, allowing for a full range of motion, especially if layering other garments underneath.

Compatibility

This fleece is highly compatible with a wide range of outdoor and casual clothing. It pairs well with moisture-wicking base layers for active use, providing warmth without trapping sweat. It can be worn effectively under waterproof jackets, windbreakers, or down jackets as an insulating mid-layer. For lower body, it complements walking trousers, cargo pants, or even casual jeans.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your micro fleece. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions.

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Using a mild detergent is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, hang dry. Air drying helps prevent static and maintain fabric integrity. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach, as this can damage the polyester fibers and affect color.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can melt or damage the fleece fabric.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
