FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Regatta Junior Brigade II Fleece is made from 100% polyester microfleece, which is not waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture due to its quick-drying properties, but it will not protect against heavy rain. It is best used as a warm mid-layer under a waterproof jacket.

What age group is this specific fleece size suitable for?

This particular variant is designed for children aged 3-4 years. Regatta Junior Brigade II Fleeces are available in various sizes for different age groups.

How should I wash this fleece?

Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) with similar colors, preferably turned inside out. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener. Air dry or tumble dry on very low heat to preserve the fabric and its properties.

Can my child wear this fleece as a stand-alone jacket?

Yes, in mild, dry conditions, it can be worn as a stand-alone outer layer. However, for colder, windy, or wet weather, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer under a suitable outer jacket for better protection.

What material is the fleece made from?

The Regatta Junior Brigade II Fleece is made from 100% Polyester 170 Series Microfleece, known for its lightweight warmth, wicking performance, and quick-drying capabilities.

Does this fleece have pockets?

Yes, it features two lower side pockets, perfect for keeping little hands warm or storing small items.

Are there other colors or sizes available for this fleece?

Yes, the Regatta Junior Brigade II Fleece is available in several other colors (such as Royal Blue and Black) and various children's sizes, including 2-3 years, 5-6 years, and 9-10 years, across the Regatta Junior range.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft or shows pilling (small fabric balls).

Wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Air dry or tumble dry on very low heat. Avoid using fabric softener, which can contribute to pilling and reduce wicking performance. A fabric shaver can carefully remove existing pills.

Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Rub a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth to lubricate them, then gently work the zipper up and down. Clean any debris from the zipper track.

Fleece retains odors after washing.

Ensure the fleece is washed promptly after heavy use. Consider using a sports-specific detergent designed to combat odors in synthetic fabrics. A pre-soak in a solution of white vinegar and water (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) before washing can also help.

Fleece does not seem to keep my child warm enough.

The Brigade II Fleece is a lightweight layering piece. For colder conditions, ensure your child is wearing appropriate base layers underneath and an insulated or windproof outer layer over the fleece. It's designed for warmth without bulk, making it ideal as a mid-layer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile layering piece for changing weather
  • Provides warmth without bulk, promoting freedom of movement
  • Wicks moisture effectively, keeping kids dry
  • Quick-drying, practical for active wear and washing
  • Comfort features like chin guard and cadet collar
  • Handy side pockets for warmth or small items

Cons

  • Not waterproof; unsuitable as a primary outer layer in heavy rain
  • May not provide sufficient warmth for extreme cold temperatures on its own
  • Info needed: Specific instructions for stain removal on microfleece
  • Polyester material can sometimes generate static electricity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fleece requires no complex setup; it's ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility

The Regatta Junior Brigade II Fleece is designed to be a highly compatible layering piece:

  • Mid-Layer: Wear it over a base layer like a t-shirt or long-sleeved top for added warmth.
  • Outer Layer: In mild, dry conditions, it can be worn as the outermost layer.
  • Under a Jacket: Pair it under a waterproof or insulated jacket for comprehensive protection in colder or wetter weather.

Care Instructions

To maintain the performance and longevity of your 100% Polyester microfleece, follow these general care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) with similar colors. It is recommended to zip up the fleece fully and turn it inside out before washing to help prevent pilling.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric fibers and wicking properties.
  3. Fabric Softener: Do not use fabric softener, as it can clog the microfleece fibers, reducing its wicking and breathability.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry. The quick-drying nature of the fleece means it will dry relatively fast when hung up. Avoid high heat as it can damage polyester fibers.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron. Fleece material does not typically require ironing, and direct heat can melt or damage the fibers.
  6. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
