Product Information
Full details
This Trespass Skylar Half Zip Top is designed for women seeking a lightweight yet warm layering piece. Its key benefit is the anti-pill finish that ensures durability and a consistently soft feel, making it ideal for both active outdoor pursuits and casual everyday wear. A potential caveat is its 130gsm fabric weight, which offers moderate warmth suitable for transitional weather but may not be sufficient as a primary outer layer in extreme cold. Key features include a 1/2 zip neck for adjustable ventilation, contrast detailing for a stylish appearance, and the use of Airtrap fabric technology to retain body heat.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Airtrap fabric?
The Airtrap fabric is designed to trap air within the material, which enhances its insulating properties and helps to keep you warmer by retaining your body heat.
How should I wash the Trespass Skylar fleece?
It is recommended to machine wash the fleece at a low temperature (30-40°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter weather?
The fleece is lightweight (130gsm) and provides moderate warmth, making it excellent for layering. For very cold winter conditions, it would likely need to be worn as a mid-layer under a more substantial insulated jacket.
What does 'anti-pill finish' mean?
An anti-pill finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, which can occur due to friction during wear and washing. This helps the garment maintain a smoother appearance and feel over time.
Can I tumble dry this fleece?
Yes, you can tumble dry the fleece on a low heat setting. However, air drying flat or hanging is often preferred to best maintain the fabric's shape and integrity.
What sizes are available?
The Trespass Skylar fleece is available in a range of sizes, typically from XS up to XXL, depending on the specific colourway and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fibers. Instead, consider adding a tablespoon of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to help restore softness and brightness.
Pilling has started to appear despite the finish
While the anti-pill finish is effective, excessive friction can still cause some pilling. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver or de-piller. Ensure correct washing and drying methods are followed.
Zip is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zip back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip mechanism.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable. It is recommended to wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the anti-pill properties and potentially clog the fabric's pores, reducing its effectiveness.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, air dry flat or hang to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape.
- Ironing: Ironing is generally not required. If necessary, use a cool iron setting and avoid direct heat on any printed or contrast elements.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach. Chlorine or oxygen-based bleaches can damage the fabric and its finish.
