FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for extreme cold weather?

The Symmetry fleece is designed for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece. For extreme cold, it would need to be combined with significant insulation and a protective outer layer.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The fit is generally relaxed to allow for layering.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer in dry, mild conditions. However, it offers minimal protection against wind and rain.

What does '170 g/m²' mean?

This indicates the weight of the fabric per square meter, signifying a lightweight to mid-weight fleece, providing warmth without being overly heavy.

How should I store the fleece when not in use?

Store it folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid cramming it into a tight space to maintain its shape and prevent excessive wrinkling.

Is the collar adjustable?

The collar features a zip that can be opened for ventilation or zipped up for more warmth around the neck.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener, which can leave a residue. Opt for air drying instead of high heat tumble drying.

Pilling has started to appear.

Ensure you are washing inside out and using a gentle cycle. Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or lip balm to the zipper track to help it glide smoothly.
