FAQs

What age group is this fleece designed for?

This specific variant of the Regatta Junior Brigade II Full Zip Fleece is designed for children aged 3-4 years. Other sizes and age groups may be available.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and wick moisture, but it will not protect against heavy rain. For wet conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof outer jacket.

How should I wash this fleece?

Machine wash warm (30-40°C) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.

What is 'Layer Lite Technology'?

Layer Lite Technology refers to the fleece's lightweight and low-bulk design, making it comfortable and efficient for layering with other garments without adding excessive bulk or restricting movement.

Can this fleece be worn as a standalone jacket?

It can be worn as a standalone jacket in mild, dry conditions. However, for windy, cold, or wet weather, it functions best as a warm mid-layer underneath a windproof or waterproof outer shell.

Does this fleece have a hood?

No, the Regatta Junior Brigade II Full Zip Fleece does not feature a hood, providing a clean neckline that layers well.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels damp or cold after activity.

While the fleece has good wicking, ensure your child is wearing an appropriate base layer underneath. The fleece works best by wicking moisture from a base layer. If the outer layer is not breathable or the activity is very intense, moisture can still accumulate. Consider removing an outer layer if it's too warm, or adding a breathable outer layer in windy conditions.

Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try again. For minor stiffness, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or even a graphite pencil lead to the teeth.

Fleece develops pilling (small fabric balls) after washing.

Pilling can occur with fleece over time, especially with friction. To minimize this, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid washing it with abrasive fabrics like towels. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver or lint roller can carefully remove them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for layering over base layers or under waterproof jackets
  • Provides significant warmth without feeling heavy or bulky
  • Keeps children dry and comfortable through effective wicking
  • Dries very quickly, suitable for active outdoor use and frequent washing
  • Practical pockets add functionality and warmth for hands
  • Chin guard enhances comfort and prevents zipper irritation

Cons

  • Not windproof, requiring an additional outer layer in blustery conditions
  • Not waterproof, offers minimal protection in heavy rain
  • Specific sizing (3-4 years) means it may be quickly outgrown
  • Info needed: May not be as breathable as natural fibers for all climates/activities

Setup

No special setup is required for the Regatta Junior Brigade II Full Zip Fleece. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. For best practices, it's recommended to wash the fleece before its first use.

Compatibility

This fleece is designed as a versatile mid-layer, compatible with various clothing systems:

  • Base Layers: Wear over a thin base layer (e.g., thermal top, long-sleeve t-shirt) for added warmth.
  • Outer Layers: Easily fits under a waterproof jacket, windbreaker, or heavier coat for comprehensive protection in colder or wetter conditions. Its 'Layer Lite Technology' ensures it doesn't add excessive bulk.

Care

Proper care will maintain the fleece's performance and longevity. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions.

  1. Washing: Machine wash warm (around 30-40°C) with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog fleece fibers and reduce wicking performance.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, hang dry. The fleece is quick-drying, so it won't take long. Avoid high heat as it can damage the polyester fibers.
  4. Bleach/Iron: Do not bleach. Do not iron.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
