FAQs

Is this fleece warm enough for winter?

The Newhill fleece is designed for lightweight warmth and is best suited for transitional weather or as a mid-layer. For very cold winter conditions, additional layers would be necessary.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

Refer to the Regatta sizing guide, typically found on the brand's website or retailer's product page. This guide provides detailed measurements to help you select the best fit.

Can this fleece be worn for intense exercise?

Yes, the fleece is breathable and lightweight, making it suitable for moderate activities. For high-intensity exercise where significant sweating occurs, consider a dedicated base layer or technical shirt.

What is the benefit of the stretch binding?

The stretch binding on the cuffs and hem provides a snug fit, helping to keep the fleece in place and preventing cold air from entering, thus enhancing warmth and comfort.

Are the pockets secure enough for valuables?

The zipped pockets offer a secure way to store small items like keys, cards, or a phone. However, for very vigorous activities, ensure items are placed deep within the pocket and consider using a waterproof pouch for electronics.

How should I store the fleece when not in use?

The fleece is lightweight and packable. It can be folded or rolled and stored in a drawer, backpack, or storage bag. Avoid compressing it tightly for extended periods to maintain fabric loft.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Avoid using fabric softener. If stiffness persists, try a gentle tumble dry on low heat.

Zipper is difficult to open or close

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Pilling is natural for fleece over time. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills for a smoother appearance. Avoid harsh abrasion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and packable.
  • Provides good warmth for its weight.
  • Comfortable fit with stretch binding.
  • Practical zipped pockets for storage.
  • Versatile for various activities and weather conditions.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for very cold weather on its own.
  • The lightweight nature might be less durable for rugged use compared to heavier fleeces.
  • Limited color options in this specific model.
  • Stretch binding may wear over time with heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This fleece requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult females. While designed for active use, it's also appropriate for casual wear. It pairs well with various outdoor trousers, jeans, and base layers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the fleece's wicking properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid direct heat or ironing, as this can damage the fabric.
  4. Zippers: Close all zippers before washing to prevent snagging.
