FAQs

What is the primary material of this fleece top?

The fleece top is made from 100% polyester, with a weight of 170gsm.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather on its own?

This fleece is lightweight and insulated, making it best suited as a mid-layer for moderate temperatures or as an indoor layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it under a heavier, waterproof or insulated outer jacket.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the sizing information provided. For example, a UK size 8 corresponds to a 32-inch chest measurement. It's advisable to measure your chest and compare it to the provided chart for the best fit.

Can this fleece be worn by men?

This specific product is designed for women, featuring a women's fit. Regatta may offer similar fleece styles for men.

What does 'anti-pilling' mean?

Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, helping it maintain a smoother appearance over time.

How should I best clean the quarter zip?

The entire garment, including the quarter zip, should be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Allow to air dry or tumble dry on low.

What is the benefit of the high neck design?

The high neck provides extra warmth and protection around the neck area, reducing heat loss and offering a barrier against wind.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can coat the fibers and reduce insulation. Wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.

Pilling has started to appear

While the fleece has an anti-pilling finish, excessive friction or harsh washing can still cause some pilling. Wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid overcrowding the washing machine. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver if necessary.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. You can try rubbing a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

  • Soft-touch material enhances comfort.

  • Easy to care for and maintain.

Cons

  • Regular fit may not suit preferences for oversized or very slim styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This garment requires no setup. Simply remove any tags and it is ready to wear.

Compatibility:

This fleece top is designed for women and features a regular fit. It pairs well with other casual wear items such as jeans, leggings, or walking trousers. It functions effectively as a layering piece over t-shirts or base layers and under heavier jackets or coats.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and appearance of your fleece top:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's insulating properties and contribute to pilling.
  3. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron. If creases are present, a very brief, low-heat steam may be used cautiously, but avoid direct contact with the fabric.
  6. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
