Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft or pills after washing.

Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding fabric softeners, which can damage fleece fibers. Tumble dry on low or air dry to prevent pilling. A fabric shaver can remove existing pills.

Zipper gets stuck or snags.

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth to improve smoothness.

Fleece doesn't feel as warm as expected.

Verify it's being used in appropriate conditions. This fleece is an insulating layer, best used as part of a layering system in very cold, windy, or wet weather. Ensure it's clean, as dirt can reduce insulation effectiveness.

Fleece attracts a lot of lint or pet hair.

Use a lint roller or damp cloth to remove lint and hair. To minimize attraction, wash the fleece separately or with similar fabrics, and avoid drying it with items that produce a lot of lint.
