The Regatta Mellrey Full Zip Fleece is designed for adults seeking a durable, eco-friendly mid-layer for everyday activities or light outdoor pursuits. Crafted from 100% recycled polyester with a substantial 500gsm weight, it provides excellent thermal insulation and a comfortable, knitted stretch finish. While its thick construction offers superior warmth, users should note that its bulkier profile may make it less suitable for layering under tight-fitting waterproof shells.

No, the Regatta Mellrey is made of polyester fleece and is not waterproof. It is intended to provide insulation and warmth.
Store in a cool, dry place. Hanging the fleece on a sturdy hanger is best to maintain its shape, but ensure the hanger isn't too narrow to prevent shoulder distortion.
While air drying is preferred to prolong the life of the fabric, if you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting to prevent the synthetic fibers from melting or the bonded layers from separating.
The Regatta range typically follows standard sizing, but because this is a 500gsm fleece, it has a slightly more substantial 'boxy' feel compared to thin synthetic base layers.
GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 500gsm rating indicates a very thick, high-density fabric that provides significantly more warmth than a standard weight fleece.
Use a fabric shaver gently on the affected areas to remove surface lint, and avoid washing with rougher materials like denim.
Check for trapped loose threads in the zipper track; if the zipper remains stiff, gently apply a small amount of candle wax or graphite to the teeth.
To ensure your Regatta Mellrey retains its warmth and texture, follow these care instructions. Always close all zippers before placing the garment in the washing machine to prevent snagging or damage to the teeth. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, preferably in cold or lukewarm water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the bonded structure and prevent potential shrinkage. Due to its thick 500gsm construction, it is best paired with a base layer rather than worn under restrictive heavy coats.
