Regatta Women's Sweethart Half-Zip Fleece - Purple - Size 18

The Regatta Women's Sweethart Half-Zip Fleece is designed for warmth and comfort, primarily as a layering piece for outdoor activities or casual wear in cooler conditions.

It is made from SYMMETRY fleece, consisting of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a fabric weight of 170 g/m².

Machine wash at 40°C using a mild process. Avoid bleaching, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean. Following these instructions helps preserve the fabric's softness and anti-pilling properties.

This fleece is designed for warmth and is not inherently waterproof or water-resistant. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.

Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer in dry, cool conditions. However, for enhanced protection against wind and rain, layering it under a jacket is recommended.

The 'anti-pilling' finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls of fiber (pills) on the surface, ensuring the fleece maintains a smooth appearance even after repeated wear and washing.

Yes, 30% of the polyester content in the fleece is made from recycled materials.

Ensure the fleece is worn as a layer and that the brushed inner side is against your skin or base layer to maximize heat retention. Check that the collar is zipped up fully.

While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction from rough surfaces or specific washing machine cycles can sometimes cause minor pilling. Ensure you follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid washing with abrasive items.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric away from the zipper. If stiffness persists, a small amount of lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) on the teeth might help, but use sparingly.
