FAQs
What is the primary material of the Hot Shot II Fleece?
The fleece is made from a blend of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a weight of 170 g/m².
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Hot Shot II Fleece provides good warmth but is best suited as a mid-layer in very cold conditions. As an outer layer, it is more appropriate for mild to cool weather.
How do I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron.
Does the 'anti-pilling' feature mean it will never pill?
The anti-pilling treatment significantly reduces the likelihood of pilling compared to standard fleece, helping it maintain a smooth appearance over time with proper care.
What does 'brushed side, 1 anti-pilling side' mean?
One side of the fleece is brushed to enhance softness and warmth, while the other side is treated to resist pilling, ensuring durability and a neater appearance.
Can this fleece be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the design is unisex and suitable for all children.
What is the benefit of the zip collar?
The zip collar allows for adjustable ventilation, providing warmth when fully zipped and allowing for cooling when unzipped, helping to regulate body temperature during activity.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing
Avoid using fabric softener. Wash with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before storing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Fleece shows signs of excessive wear
Check care label; ensure washing and drying temperatures are within recommended limits. Avoid harsh detergents. While the fabric is anti-pilling, excessive abrasion can still impact appearance over time.
