FAQs
What age group is this fleece designed for?
This particular variant of the Regatta Kaliza Half Zip Fleece is designed for children aged 7-8 Years.

While warm, the fleece is best used as a midlayer in very cold conditions, underneath a waterproof and insulated outer jacket, to provide optimal warmth.
How do I clean the Regatta Kaliza Half Zip Fleece?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Do not bleach or iron. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain fabric integrity.
Does it have pockets?

Is this fleece suitable for both boys and girls?

What material is the fleece made from?
It is crafted from polyester lambswool fluffy fleece fabric for comfort and warmth.
Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?
Yes, on dry, cool days, it can be worn as a comfortable and stylish outer layer. However, it is not waterproof, so an additional outer layer is recommended in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less fluffy or matted after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding fabric softeners. Air drying or tumble drying on very low heat can also help preserve the fluffiness. Avoid over-washing.
Static cling is present after wearing or washing.
Use anti-static dryer sheets if tumble drying, or lightly spray the fleece with an anti-static spray. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before wearing.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Gently rub a graphite pencil or a small amount of zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, which can cause damage.
Minor pilling (small fabric balls) appears on the surface.
Pilling can naturally occur with fleece over time. Use a fabric shaver or a pilling comb to gently remove the pills. Washing the garment inside out can also help reduce pilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
This fleece is designed to be highly compatible with various wardrobe items.

Care Instructions:
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and fluffiness of the fleece fabric. Always check the garment's specific care label for the most accurate instructions. Generally, for polyester fleece:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (around `30°C` or `86°F`) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Using a mild detergent is recommended.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry flat. High heat can damage fleece fibers, leading to matting or pilling.
- Bleach: Do not use bleach, as it can degrade the fabric.
- Ironing: Do not iron fleece, as it can melt the fibers.
- Fabric Softeners: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the wicking properties and cause residue buildup on fleece.
