Full details
The Regatta Newhill men's fleece is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and stylish mid-layer for outdoor adventures or casual wear.

The Regatta Newhill fleece is designed primarily as a warm, comfortable mid-layer for outdoor activities or casual wear. It provides insulation and can be layered under or over other garments.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability, and you will need a separate waterproof outer shell for protection against rain and wind.
How should I wash the fleece?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
What materials is the fleece made from?

Does the fleece have a hood?

Can I wear this as my only jacket in winter?
For moderate winter conditions, it might suffice as outerwear. However, for colder temperatures or activities requiring significant insulation, it's best used as a mid-layer under a more substantial insulated or waterproof jacket.
Are there other color options available?
This specific product listing is for the Brown variant. Other colors may be available under different product listings or from retailers.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you did not use fabric softener. Try rinsing again with cold water and air drying.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any snagged material. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil tip if needed.
Pilling observed on the fabric surface
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. Ensure you are washing inside out on a gentle cycle and avoiding abrasive contact.
Fit feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements. The stretch binding offers a snug fit, so ensure the base size is correct.
