Full details
The Regatta Sweetheart 1/4 Zip Fleece Top is an essential layering piece for women seeking lightweight warmth and versatile style for outdoor activities or casual everyday wear. Crafted from 170gsm polyester fleece with an anti-pilling finish, it provides consistent thermal insulation without added bulk. While its soft-touch fabric excels in comfort, users should note that as a lightweight garment, it is best suited as a mid-layer during colder conditions rather than a standalone outer shell in harsh weather.

FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this garment is made of polyester fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to be worn as a warm mid-layer under a waterproof shell.
Can I tumble dry the fleece?
It is recommended to air dry to maintain the fabric texture, but you may use a low-heat tumble dry setting if absolutely necessary.
What does 170gsm mean?
GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 170gsm rating indicates a lightweight fleece, providing moderate warmth without bulk.
Is the fit true to size?
The Regatta Sweetheart fleece features a regular fit, designed to accommodate standard sizing comfortably over a base layer.
How do I prevent the fabric from feeling rough?
Avoid fabric softeners when washing, as they leave a residue that can make synthetic fleeces feel stiff or less effective over time.
Troubleshooting
Pilling occurs after frequent washing
Ensure you are using a cold cycle and avoid mixing with rough fabrics like denim; if light pilling appears, a fabric shaver can be used.
Zipper feels stiff
Clean the teeth of the zipper with a soft brush to remove dust or lint and ensure no fabric is caught in the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup—simply layer it over your base layer or t-shirt. It is highly compatible with other Regatta outdoor gear and fits comfortably under shell jackets or gilets. To care for your fleece, machine wash it on a cool cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the fleece's thermal performance and moisture-wicking capabilities. Always hang dry or tumble dry on a very low heat setting to preserve the anti-pilling integrity of the fabric.
