FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Symmetry Fleece?

The Symmetry Fleece offers a balance of lightweight warmth and a soft touch, making it comfortable for extended wear and versatile for different weather conditions.

How durable is this fleece top?

It features an '1 Side Anti-Pill' treatment which helps to maintain the appearance and feel of one side of the fabric over time, enhancing its durability.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

While it provides warmth, its lightweight nature means it's best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece under a heavier jacket in colder weather.

What is the recommended way to wash the fleece?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and ironing. Zip up before washing.

What does the 'XXL' size typically correspond to in chest measurement?

For this specific Regatta garment, an XXL size corresponds to a chest measurement of 48 inches.

Can I wear this fleece directly against my skin?

Yes, the soft-touch fabric is designed for comfort, making it suitable to wear directly against the skin or over a base layer.

What is the purpose of the high-neck design?

The high-neck design offers additional warmth and protection for the neck area, which is beneficial in cooler or windy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade fleece fibers. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat can help restore softness.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to pull the fabric away. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.

Pilling developing on the non-anti-pill side

This is normal for the side without the anti-pill treatment. To minimize further pilling, follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully and avoid excessive friction.

Garment appears to have shrunk

Ensure you followed the washing temperature guidelines (cold or 30°C). Avoid high heat in the washing machine or tumble dryer. If shrinkage has occurred, gentle stretching while damp may help slightly.
