Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Alven Fleece is designed for active adults who need a reliable, mid-layer garment that balances warmth with unrestricted mobility. Featuring integrated stretch panels and underarm gussets, it is an excellent choice for hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts who require a full range of motion; however, users should note that as a dedicated fleece, it is not a waterproof shell and performs best when layered under a rain jacket in wet conditions.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Alven Fleece windproof?
No, it is designed for breathability and warmth. It is best paired with a windproof or shell jacket in gusty conditions.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the fleece to prevent shrinking and to maintain the integrity of the stretch panels.
How should I choose the right size?
The garment is a regular fit. If you plan to wear heavy layers underneath, stick to your standard size or check the provided sizing guide for the XXXL measurements.
Is this suitable for high-intensity climbing?
Yes, the underarm gussets and stretch panels are specifically engineered for climbing and overhead mobility.
What is the best way to store the fleece?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material stress.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
Wash the garment inside out and avoid mixing with rough fabrics like denim or garments with Velcro to reduce abrasion.
Zipper feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and consider using a silicone-based zipper lubricant if the stiffness persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Alven Fleece maintains its performance, avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of technical polyester fabrics. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry whenever possible to preserve the elasticity of the stretch panels. When layering, pair this fleece with a moisture-wicking synthetic base layer for optimal climate control. If you are heading into high-exposure areas, ensure you have a windproof or waterproof outer shell available, as the fleece alone is highly breathable but offers limited wind resistance.
