Regatta Brigade II Micro Fleece Jacket - Black, 9-10 Years

This specific variant is sized for children aged 9-10 years. Other sizes are available, so always check the product details for the correct fit.

No, the Regatta Brigade II Micro Fleece Jacket is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and wick away moisture, but it will get wet in rain. For wet conditions, it should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer jacket.

You should machine wash it according to the instructions on the care label, typically on a gentle cycle with cold or warm water. Avoid using fabric softeners and do not bleach or iron it. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

No, this model of the Regatta Brigade II Micro Fleece Jacket features an open collar and does not include a hood.

While it provides warmth, it is best suited as a layering piece. In colder winter conditions, it should be combined with a warm base layer underneath and a protective, insulated, and potentially waterproof outer shell over it for adequate protection against the elements.

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester fleece, known for its warmth, quick-drying capabilities, and moisture-wicking properties.

Ensure the fleece is being used as part of a layering system. For very cold weather, add a warmer base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell over the fleece. Check that the size is appropriate and not too loose, which can reduce trapped air for insulation.

Avoid using fabric softeners when washing, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the fleece's wicking and softness. Re-wash without softener if this is suspected. Ensure proper drying to maintain fabric integrity.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric away while manipulating the zipper. Ensure the zipper pull is aligned straight with the teeth. If it's consistently stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite or a specialized product) can sometimes help, but be careful not to stain the fabric.
