Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Hooded Newhill ladies hiking fleece is designed for adult women seeking a warm, soft, and durable layer for cooler outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing cozy comfort on chilly days with a snug fit and practical features like zipped pockets and a grown-on hood. A potential caveat is that its primary function is warmth, so it may not be sufficient as a standalone outer layer in extreme weather conditions. Key features include a marl knit-effect fabric for warmth, a brushed backing for comfort, stretch binding for a secure fit, and zipped pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece?

The primary purpose of the Regatta Hooded Newhill fleece is to provide warmth and comfort during cooler weather, functioning well as a layering piece for outdoor activities or as a casual jacket.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold or wet weather?

While the fleece provides good insulation, it is not designed to be waterproof or windproof. For very cold or wet conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof and windproof outer shell.

How do I clean the fleece to maintain its softness?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying to preserve the fleece's softness and insulating properties. Air drying or low-heat tumble drying is recommended.

Can this fleece be worn by men?

This specific model, the Hooded Newhill 'ladies' hiking fleece, is designed with a women's fit. Regatta may offer similar fleece styles designed for men.

What does 'marl knit-effect fabric' mean?

Marl knit-effect fabric has a textured appearance that resembles knitting and often features a mix of different colored yarns, giving it a nuanced, heathered look rather than a solid color.

How much storage space do the zipped pockets offer?

The zipped pockets are designed to securely hold small personal items such as keys, a mobile phone, or a wallet. Specific dimensions are not provided, but they are typical hand-warming pockets.

What is the benefit of the 'grown-on hood'?

A 'grown-on hood' is permanently attached to the main body of the garment. It provides an integrated way to protect your head and neck from the elements without the need for separate adjustment or attachment.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can coat the fibers and reduce their insulating ability. If softener was used, try re-washing with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle to help remove residue.

Pilling on the fleece surface.

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out, use a gentle cycle, and avoid over-drying in a tumble dryer. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove existing pills.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Fit is too tight or too loose.

Check the sizing guide carefully before purchase. If the fit is slightly off, consider layering options. For minor tightness, gentle stretching while damp might help. For looseness, the stretch binding on the cuffs and hood offers some adjustment.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's insulating properties and cause pilling.
