FAQs

What is Symmetry Fleece?

Symmetry Fleece is a type of polyester fabric known for being lightweight, soft to the touch, and providing warmth without excessive bulk. It often includes an anti-pill finish for improved durability.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

This fleece is best suited for mild to cool conditions as a standalone layer, or as a mid-layer for added warmth in colder weather when combined with other insulating layers and a waterproof outer shell.

How do I wash the fleece top?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and do not iron or dry clean.

What does '1 Side Anti-Pill' mean?

It means that one side of the fleece fabric has been treated to resist the formation of small balls of fiber (pills) that can appear on the surface after washing and wear. This helps maintain a smoother appearance.

Can I wear this for active sports?

Yes, its lightweight and breathable nature makes it suitable for active pursuits like hiking. The half-zip allows for adjustable ventilation during physical activity.

What are the dimensions of the size S?

Specific garment measurements for size S are not provided in the product description. Refer to Regatta's general sizing chart for approximate body measurements corresponding to size S.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect fleece texture. Follow the recommended low-heat tumble dry setting.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the teeth if needed.

Pilling appears on the fabric surface

While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction can still cause pilling. Try to avoid prolonged rubbing against rough surfaces. Gentle washing and avoiding high heat drying can help minimize this.
