Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Sweetheart Fleece is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and versatile midlayer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing lasting warmth and softness with an anti-pill finish for extended wear. A potential caveat is that sizing is specific to the garment, not body measurements, so careful reference to the size guide is essential. Key features include its classic 1/4 zip design, made from lightweight Symmetry fleece with a brushed inner for superior comfort and an anti-pill exterior, partially from recycled plastic bottles, making it a practical and sustainable choice for layering.

FAQs

What is Symmetry fleece?

Symmetry fleece is Regatta's own brand of lightweight, easy-care comfort fleece. It is known for being quick-drying and features an anti-pill finish for durability and a soft feel.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Regatta Womens sizing guide provided, which lists bust measurements corresponding to UK dress sizes. The measurements provided in the product description are for the garment itself, not body measurements, so compare them to your own body measurements for the best fit.

Can this fleece be worn in the rain?

The fleece itself is not waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture due to its quick-drying properties, but for significant rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

As a midlayer, it provides good insulation. For very cold weather, it is best layered over a base layer and under a more substantial insulated or waterproof jacket.

How is the fleece made from recycled materials?

A portion of the polyester used in the fleece is made from recycled plastic bottles, which helps to reduce waste and environmental impact.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

'Anti-pill' means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, keeping the garment looking newer for longer.

Can I wear this for casual everyday use?

Yes, the relaxed fit and classic design make it suitable for casual everyday wear, especially in cooler weather.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears to be pilling or bobbling.

While designed with an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or harsh washing can sometimes lead to minor pilling. Ensure you are washing inside out and avoiding abrasive materials in the wash. Gentle care will maintain the anti-pill quality.

Fleece feels less warm than expected.

This fleece is designed as a midlayer. For colder conditions, consider layering it over a thermal base layer and under a windproof or insulated outer jacket to maximize warmth.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric taut around the zipper. You can also try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth for smoother operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to anti-pill finish.
  • Soft and comfortable, especially with the brushed inner.
  • Versatile for layering in different weather conditions.
  • Easy to care for with a machine washable design.
  • Sustainable material choice, using recycled plastic bottles.
  • Classic and practical design with a functional 1/4 zip.

Cons

  • Sizing can be specific and requires careful measurement checking.
  • As a midlayer, it may not provide sufficient warmth on its own in very cold conditions.
  • The lightweight nature might be less suitable for extremely cold climates without significant layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No specific setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed as a women's outdoor apparel piece. It pairs well with various base layers, t-shirts, and outer jackets for a complete layering system. It is suitable for casual wear and moderate outdoor activities.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable. Use a standard wash cycle. It is recommended to wash with similar colours.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry for best results. Avoid high heat which can damage the fleece fibers.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The material does not typically require ironing, and high heat can cause damage.
  • Cleaning: Follow standard laundry procedures. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents which can affect the fabric's properties.
