FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece?
The Fjällräven Abisko Lite Fleece Half Zip is primarily designed as a warm, breathable mid-layer for outdoor activities like trekking and mountaineering, offering comfort and insulation.
Is this fleece suitable as an outer layer?
It can be used as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. However, it is not waterproof and offers limited wind protection, so a shell jacket is recommended for adverse weather.
What material is this fleece made from?
This garment is made from fleece material, chosen for its warmth, softness, and lightweight properties.
How should I wash this fleece?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Can this fleece be used for everyday wear?
Yes, its comfort and style make it suitable for casual wear during cooler weather, in addition to its intended outdoor use.
Does it come in other colors?
Yes, this model is available in other colors such as Flame Orange and Blue.
What does 'Half Zip' mean for functionality?
The 'Half Zip' refers to the zipper extending only partway down the chest. This allows for easy ventilation control, enabling you to open it up for more airflow or zip it up for more warmth.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing.
Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing on a gentle cycle.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Pilling on the fleece surface.
Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece over time. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills for a smoother appearance. Washing less frequently and using a laundry bag can help minimize pilling.
