FAQs
What is the primary use of the Regatta Newhill Fleece?
The Regatta Newhill Fleece is primarily designed as a versatile mid-layer for warmth during outdoor activities like hiking or for casual everyday wear. It can also be worn as a standalone piece in mild weather.
What material is the fleece made of?
It is made from a two-tone mélange knitted fleece, consisting of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a fabric weight of 280 g/m².
How many pockets does this fleece have?
The Newhill fleece features three zipped pockets: two lower pockets and one zipped pocket on the sleeve.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold or wet weather?
While it provides good insulation, it is best suited as a mid-layer. For very cold or wet conditions, it is recommended to wear it under a waterproof and windproof outer shell.
How should I care for my fleece to ensure its longevity?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors, use a mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
What does 'mélange' mean in the fabric description?
Mélange refers to a yarn or fabric made from two or more different colored fibers blended together, creating a textured, heathered appearance.
Can the stretch binding be stretched out?
The stretch binding is designed to provide a snug fit. While it has some elasticity, excessive stretching or harsh washing could potentially affect its fit over time.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels too tight or restrictive
Check the size guide before purchasing. If already owned, consider wearing it with thinner base layers or ensure the stretch binding is not overly stretched.
Pilling on the fabric surface
This can occur with normal wear and washing. Wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle and consider using a fabric shaver to gently remove pills.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or wax can help.
Reduced warmth after washing
Ensure the fleece is not overly compressed during washing or drying. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat helps maintain the loft of the fleece fibers.
