No, this fleece is not waterproof or water-resistant. It's designed primarily for warmth. For protection against rain or snow, you'll need to wear a waterproof outer shell over it.

To prevent pilling, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, turn the fleece inside out, and wash with similar soft fabrics. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.

While suitable for light to moderate activity in cooler temperatures, for high-intensity sports, you might find it less breathable than specialized performance fleeces. It's more geared towards general warmth and layering.

Lubricate the zipper teeth with a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a commercial zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

To minimize pilling, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle with similar fabrics. Avoid washing with towels or rough materials. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove existing pills.

Wash regularly according to care instructions. For stubborn odors, try soaking in a solution of water and a small amount of white vinegar before washing, or use a sports-specific detergent designed to tackle odors in synthetic fabrics.
