Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Newhill men's fleece in brown, size XXL, is for adult males seeking a versatile and warm layer for outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is combining comfort with practical features like secure zip pockets and a snug fit. A potential caveat is that it's designed as a layering piece, so its warmth may depend on other garments worn with it. The fleece is constructed from a marl brushed-back knit-effect fabric offering both warmth and style, perfect for layering, and features stretch binding for a comfortable fit and multiple zipped pockets for securing essentials.

FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece?
The fleece 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 and are they secure?
Yes, it features multiple zipped pockets: two lower zip pockets and one zipped pocket on the sleeve, ensuring your essentials are kept secure.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The fleece provides good warmth as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer and under a protective outer shell.
What does 'marl' and 'mélange' mean in relation to the fabric?
Marl and mélange refer to a fabric appearance created by blending different colored yarns together, giving it a mottled or mixed-color effect rather than a solid color.
Can I put this fleece in the washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and high heat drying.
What is the benefit of the stretch binding?
The stretch bound collar and hem provide a snug fit, helping to retain body heat and prevent drafts, while also ensuring comfort during movement.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability and would require an additional waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and consider how you intend to layer. The stretch binding offers some adjustment, but for significant fit issues, consider exchanging for a different size.
Zipper is difficult to open or close
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the slider back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth to improve glide. Always close zippers fully before washing.
Fleece pilling after washing
Pilling can occur with fleece over time. Minimize washing frequency. When washing, use a gentle cycle, avoid harsh detergents, and air dry if possible. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills.
Fleece is not warm enough
This fleece is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, wear it over a thermal base layer and consider adding a windproof or waterproof outer shell for maximum warmth and protection.
