FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Symmetry fleece?
The Symmetry fleece offers two distinct finishes: one side is brushed for a super soft feel, and the other is anti-pill for enhanced durability and resistance to wear.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Hot Shot II fleece is designed as a mid-layer, providing good insulation. For very cold or harsh conditions, it is recommended to wear it with an additional waterproof or insulated outer layer.
What is the material composition?
It is made from 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester Symmetry fleece.
How do I wash the fleece?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not iron.
Can this fleece be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the fleece has a unisex design and is suitable for children of any gender.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
Anti-pill means the fabric is treated or constructed in a way that resists the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, maintaining a smoother appearance over time.
Is the recycled polyester content significant?
Yes, 30% of the fleece material is made from recycled polyester, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener. Wash again on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and consider air drying.
Pilling is developing on the surface.
While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling. Try washing inside out on a delicate cycle to minimize surface abrasion.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track. If necessary, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth.
