FAQs

Is the Karrimor Micro Fleece waterproof?

No, the Karrimor Micro Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability. For wet conditions, it should be worn as an insulating layer under a waterproof outer jacket.

What material is this fleece made from?

The Karrimor Micro Fleece is made from 100% Polyester, specifically Karrimor's KS200 Micro Fleece fabric.

Can I wear this fleece as my outermost layer?

Yes, you can wear it as an outer layer in mild, dry, and non-windy conditions. However, for protection against wind or rain, it is best combined with a suitable shell jacket.

How do I properly clean my Karrimor Micro Fleece?

Machine wash your fleece in cold or warm water (up to 30°C/86°F) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

While designed for warmth, for very cold weather, the Karrimor Micro Fleece performs best as part of a comprehensive layering system. Combine it with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell for optimal insulation in extreme cold.

What is the purpose of the quarter-length zip?

The quarter-length zip allows you to easily adjust your body temperature. Zip it up to your high neck for maximum warmth and protection, or zip it down to allow for ventilation and release excess heat during activity.

Does this fleece have pockets?

The provided product information focuses on the main features for warmth and the quarter-length zipped fastening at the neck. No external pockets are explicitly mentioned in the description.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm or appears flattened.

Wash the fleece according to the care instructions. Proper washing and drying can help restore the loft of the fleece fibers, improving its insulating properties. Ensure it's not over-compressed when stored.

Experiencing static cling when wearing the fleece.

This is common with polyester fabrics. You can reduce static by using a dryer sheet during tumble drying (if using) or by applying an anti-static spray. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before wearing.

Small pills or bobbles appearing on the surface.

Pilling can occur with friction. Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller designed for removing pills to carefully remove them. Washing inside out can also help reduce pilling over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, ideal for layering.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
  • Quarter-length zip allows for effective temperature regulation.
  • High neck provides additional warmth and protection.
  • Quick-drying polyester material, great for active use and easy care.
  • Durable 100% polyester construction.

Cons

  • Not windproof, requiring an outer shell in blustery conditions.
  • Not waterproof, offers minimal protection in rain or wet weather.
  • Quarter-zip may not be preferred by all over a full-zip option.
  • Polyester can generate static cling in dry environments.

Setup

No assembly or special setup is required for your Karrimor Micro Fleece. Simply unpack and wear it as desired.

Compatibility

This micro fleece is designed to be highly compatible with a layering system. It works best:

  • Over a Base Layer: For moisture-wicking and additional warmth.
  • Under an Outer Shell: To provide insulation beneath a waterproof or windproof jacket in adverse weather.

It is suitable for adult male wearers and can be paired with various outdoor and casual attire.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your fleece. Follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold or warm (up to 30°C/86°F) with similar colors on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry flat to maintain the fleece's loft and shape. Avoid high heat, which can damage polyester fibers.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Fabric Softeners: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's wicking ability and warmth over time.
