FAQs

What type of fleece is used in this top?

This top uses Regatta's Symmetry fleece, which is a lightweight, quick-dry, and easy-care fabric with an anti-pill finish on one side and a brushed inner for softness.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the detailed size guide provided in the product description. It lists UK dress sizes alongside approximate bust measurements and garment dimensions (chest, total length, sleeve length) for various sizes. Compare these to your own measurements for the best fit.

Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?

While the fleece provides warmth, it is a lighter-weight midlayer. For very cold conditions, it is best used as part of a layering system, worn over a thermal base layer and under a more substantial insulated or windproof outer jacket.

Is the fleece made entirely from recycled materials?

The fleece is partially made from recycled polyester, specifically from recycled plastic bottles. The product description indicates '170gsm recycled 100% polyester Symmetry fleece'.

How should I wash the fleece top?

It is machine washable at a maximum of 40°C. Use a mild detergent and wash with similar colours. Avoid bleach, do not iron, and tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

An 'anti-pill' finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls (pills) on its surface, which helps the garment maintain its appearance and feel longer, even with regular wear and washing.

What is the fit of this fleece?

The fleece is cut with a relaxed, everyday fit, designed for comfort and ease of movement, making it suitable for both active use and casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears smaller than expected after washing

Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely. Wash at a maximum of 40°C and avoid high heat drying. If significant shrinkage has occurred, check the garment's specific size guide measurements against your own before washing.

Pilling is starting to form on the surface

Although designed with an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can sometimes cause minor pilling. Try washing the garment inside out to reduce surface friction and ensure no harsh abrasive items are washed with it.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Sometimes a small amount of lip balm or graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Fleece feels less warm than anticipated

This fleece is designed as a midlayer. For colder conditions, consider layering it over a thermal base layer and/or under a more insulating or windproof outer jacket. The lightweight nature means it relies on other layers for significant warmth.
