Full details
The Regatta Mens Hadfield Full Zip Fleece Jacket in Blue, size XL, is designed for adult males seeking a durable and comfortable mid-layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing reliable warmth without bulk, making it ideal for layering. A potential caveat is that it's primarily a mid-layer and may require an outer shell in very wet or windy conditions. Key features include 100% polyester microfleece, a standing collar for extra protection, and two zippered lower pockets.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made from microfleece and is designed for warmth and insulation. It is not waterproof and will not provide protection from heavy rain.
Can I wear this as my only jacket in winter?
It is best used as a mid-layer in winter. While it offers good warmth, it lacks windproof and waterproof qualities needed for harsh winter conditions. It should be layered under a suitable outer shell.
How do I determine my correct size?
The jacket sizes correspond to chest measurements. For example, an XL is designed for a 44-inch chest. Please refer to the size chart provided for specific measurements.
What is the best way to clean the fleece?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Air dry for best results.
Does this jacket have internal pockets?
This model features two external lower pockets, both secured with zips. It does not have internal pockets.
Is the fleece material breathable?
Microfleece offers moderate breathability, making it suitable for active use. However, it is primarily designed for insulation rather than high-performance, moisture-wicking activities.
What does 'Hardwearing' fabric technology mean?
'Hardwearing' indicates that the fabric is designed to be durable and resistant to abrasion, ensuring the jacket can withstand regular use and maintain its appearance and function over time.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the zipper while applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.
Fleece material feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade fleece fibers. Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle and air-drying instead of tumble drying.
Seams appear to be unraveling
Check for loose threads and carefully trim them with scissors. For significant unraveling, contact customer support or a tailor for repair.
