Regatta Sweethart Lightweight Half Zip Fleece - Green

Symmetry fleece is a type of polyester fabric developed by Regatta. It is designed to be hardwearing, soft, quick-drying, and easy to care for, featuring a brushed inner and an anti-pill finish.

The Sweethart fleece is designed as a midlayer. While it provides warmth, it is best suited for milder conditions on its own or as part of a layering system for colder weather, combined with an insulating outer jacket.

It can be worn as a standalone outer layer in mild, dry weather. However, its primary design purpose is as a midlayer for added insulation under a more protective outer shell, especially in windy or wet conditions.

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat for drying or ironing. Air drying or low heat tumble drying is recommended.

Anti-pill means the fabric is treated or constructed in a way that resists the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, which can occur with friction during wear and washing. This helps the garment maintain a smoother appearance over time.

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and comfort and is best paired with a waterproof outer layer if protection from rain is needed.

The GSM (grams per square meter) of the Symmetry fleece used in this garment is 170gsm.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect the fleece's texture. Air drying or low heat tumble drying should help restore softness.

While the fleece is designed with an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can sometimes lead to minor pilling. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive surfaces can help minimize this. If minor pills form, they can often be carefully removed.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the teeth can sometimes help lubricate it.
