FAQs
Is the Joules Breeze Quarter Zip waterproof?
No, this garment is made from fleece, which is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It should be worn under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
What is the best way to wash this fleece?
Wash it inside out on a cold, delicate cycle and hang it up to dry to preserve the soft texture of the fleece.
Are the pockets deep enough for items?
The pockets are designed for small, lightweight essentials appropriate for kids, such as gloves or small toys.
Does the fleece shrink in the wash?
If washed and dried according to the care instructions—specifically avoiding high-heat tumble drying—the garment should maintain its size and shape well.
Can this be worn as a base layer?
It is primarily designed as a mid-layer. It works best over a thin t-shirt or base layer to effectively manage moisture and trap heat.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks during use
Ensure no fabric lint is caught in the teeth of the zipper and gently run a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to act as a lubricant.
Visible pilling on the fleece surface
Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface lint without pulling the actual fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Joules Breeze Quarter Zip lasts through the season, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid using harsh biological detergents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying or using high heat, as this can degrade the synthetic fleece fibers and compromise the fabric's thermal efficiency.
- Ironing: Keep iron temperatures low if touch-ups are necessary, but avoid ironing directly over the badge or branding elements.
- Storage: Hang the garment when not in use to maintain its shape, rather than folding it tightly, which can flatten the insulating fleece pile over time.
