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:
- 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.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric fibers and wicking properties.
- Fabric Softener: Do not use fabric softener, as it can clog the microfleece fibers, reducing its wicking and breathability.
- 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.
- Ironing: Do not iron. Fleece material does not typically require ironing, and direct heat can melt or damage the fibers.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
