Full details

The Regatta Newhill Hooded Fleece is designed for adult women seeking a cozy and stylish layer for cooler weather. Its key benefit is providing warmth and comfort through its marl knit-effect fleece, making it ideal for casual outings or everyday wear. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily as a mid-layer or for milder conditions, rather than extreme cold. This fleece features a marl knit-effect fabric, a grown-on hood, stretch binding for a snug fit, and multiple zipped pockets for practicality.

FAQs

What is the material composition of the Newhill Hooded Fleece?

The fleece is made from a two-tone knitted fleece, consisting of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a weight of 280 g/m².

Is this fleece suitable for heavy rain?

No, this fleece is designed for warmth and comfort. It is not waterproof and is best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions, or as a layer under a waterproof outer shell.

How many pockets does this fleece have?

The fleece features three zipped pockets: two lower pockets and one chest pocket.

Can I wear this fleece in very cold winter conditions?

This fleece provides good insulation but is primarily intended as a mid-layer for cooler weather or as an outer layer in mild conditions. For extreme cold, it would likely need to be supplemented with additional warmer layers.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta. The stretch binding on the hood, cuffs, and hem also helps to create a snugger, more personalized fit.

Is the recycled polyester content significant?

Yes, 30% of the polyester content is made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can coat the fibers and reduce their insulating ability. Wash at a lower temperature and air dry if possible.

Pilling on the fleece surface

Pilling is natural with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact with other items. You can use a fabric shaver carefully to remove pills.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and try again. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Care Instructions:
