Troubleshooting
Fleece pilling after washing
This is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize pilling, wash inside out in cold water and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down.
Garment feels less warm over time
Fleece can lose some loft with extensive use and washing. Ensure filters in the dryer are clean, as lint buildup can affect drying efficiency and fabric loft. Consider using additional layers for more warmth in colder conditions.
