Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Kids Hot Shot Marl Half Zip fleece is designed for active children needing a cozy, durable layer for daily wear and outdoor adventures. Its primary benefit is providing reliable warmth with a soft feel, ideal for school days or play. A potential caveat to consider is its suitability as a primary outerwear in very harsh weather conditions, as it functions best as a mid-layer.

FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece?
The fleece is made from Symmetry fleece, which is known for providing reliable warmth and a soft feel.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is designed for warmth and breathability, not waterproofing. It is best used as a mid-layer or on its own in dry conditions.
How should I wash the fleece to keep it soft?
Machine wash at a low temperature (30-40°C) with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener and avoid high heat when drying.
Can this fleece be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the fleece is designed as a unisex garment suitable for children.
What age group is this fleece intended for?
This fleece is designed for kids.
What does the 'Marl' in the name refer to?
Marl refers to the heathered or flecked appearance of the fabric, which is created by blending different colored yarns.
Can the zip be fully opened?
The fleece features a half-zip design, meaning the zipper extends only partway down the chest, allowing for adjustable ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Fleece appears less warm after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener in the wash, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their ability to trap air and insulate. Wash with a mild detergent only.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it remains stiff, you can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Pilling or fuzz balls on the surface.
Some pilling is normal with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid abrasive contact with other garments or surfaces. You can use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. This garment is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This fleece is designed for children and pairs well with base layers, t-shirts, and outerwear such as waterproof jackets or windbreakers. It is suitable for both boys and girls.
Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and softness of the fleece:
- Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's insulating properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can melt the synthetic fibers.
- Ironing: Do not iron the fleece. The heat can damage the fabric.
