FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
The Regatta Barlee Fleece is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a windproof shell. In high winds, it is best worn under a windproof jacket.
Can I wear this in the rain?
It is made of polyester which provides some warmth even if slightly damp, but it is not waterproof. Use a waterproof shell over it during heavy rain.
How should I choose my size?
The Barlee fleece fits true to size as a standard mid-layer. If you prefer a loose fit for heavy layering, you may consider sizing up.
What is the best way to clean the fleece?
Wash it on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors, keeping all zippers closed, and air dry to maintain the garment shape.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The zipped lower pockets are typically sized to accommodate standard smartphones and everyday carry items securely.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; if the teeth are clear, gently rub a pencil lead or wax over them to lubricate.
Pilling on the exterior fabric
Use a dedicated fabric shaver or pilling comb to gently remove accumulated lint after washing.
Garment losing elasticity at the cuffs
Ensure the fleece is washed at low temperatures and never tumble dried on high heat, as excessive heat can degrade the elastic stretch trim.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for mid-layer use
- Secure storage with three integrated zipper pockets
- Comfortable, non-restrictive fit with flat seams
- Versatile design transitions easily from hiking to casual use
Cons
- Polyester fabric is not inherently waterproof
- Half-zip design provides less ventilation than a full-zip fleece
- Needs to be layered under a shell in heavy rain or wind
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a pull-over garment, compatibility is highest when paired with a light base layer underneath to maximize moisture management. To maintain the fleece's insulating properties and soft texture, wash the garment in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the fleece's ability to trap heat. Always zip the pockets closed before washing to prevent damage to the zippers or snagging on other items in the load. Air drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the stretch bindings.
