Product Information
Full details
This Berghaus Kids' Half-Zip Grid Fleece is designed for children needing an extra layer of warmth during cooler seasons. Its key benefit is providing effortless comfort and easy wear, making it ideal for active kids. A potential consideration is that while the main material is polyester, the pocket bags are cotton, which might affect drying time in very damp conditions. Key features include flatlock seams for reduced chafing, a convenient half-zip fastening with a zip guard, a high neck for added protection, and a midweight construction suitable for layering.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the fleece?
The main material of the fleece is 100% polyester. The pocket bags are made from 100% cotton single jersey.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
This is a midweight fleece, best suited for cooler weather or as a layer in colder conditions. For extreme cold, it should be combined with a warm base layer and a heavy outer jacket.
How should I wash the fleece?
You should machine wash the fleece at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and do not dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and iron on a cool setting.
What does 'flatlock seams' mean?
Flatlock seams are a type of seam construction where the edges are flattened and overlapped, lying flat against the fabric. This minimizes chafing and provides a smoother, more comfortable feel against the skin.
Does the fleece have a hood?
No, this model features a high neck design with a half-zip fastening, but it does not have a hood.
What are the care instructions for the zipper?
While not specific care instructions for the zipper itself, general care includes ensuring no fabric is caught during use and washing according to the garment's label. The zip guard is designed to protect the skin from the zipper.
Are there other colours available for this fleece?
This guide specifically pertains to the Black colour variant. For availability of other colours, please refer to the product listings.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using the correct detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the fabric's properties. Tumble dry on a low heat setting as recommended.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the issue persists, ensure the zipper is straight before zipping and try a bit of graphite from a pencil on the teeth for smoother operation.
Fleece is not warm enough.
This is a midweight fleece designed for layering. For colder conditions, ensure it is worn as part of a layering system with a warm base layer and an insulated or waterproof outer layer.
