FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece top?
The Yumori 1/4 Zip Fleece Top is made from 100% Polyester.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It is designed as a midweight fleece, providing essential warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a layer over a base layer and under a heavier insulated jacket or waterproof shell.
How do I adjust the hem on this top?
There is a toggle located on the bottom hem. Pulling the toggle will cinch the hem to keep out drafts or customize the fit.
Can I put this fleece in the washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. Follow the care instructions: machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low.
What kind of fit does this top have?
It features a regular fit designed for comfort and ease of movement, suitable for layering.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, it includes a secure zip chest pocket for storing small essentials.
What does '1/4 Zip' mean?
'1/4 Zip' refers to a zipper that extends about a quarter of the way down the front of the garment, typically from the neck to the chest, allowing for adjustable ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing.
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce the fleece's loft and insulating properties. Always tumble dry on low heat as recommended.
Zipper is sticking.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is dry, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Toggle on the hem is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the cord is not tangled or frayed. Gently pull the cord while manipulating the toggle. If the cord is excessively dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely before re-adjusting.
Pilling or matting of the fleece.
This can occur with high-pile fleece over time. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive friction during wear can help minimize this. It does not typically affect the insulating performance.
