FAQs
What is the main material of the Newhill fleece?
The fleece is made from a two-tone mélange knitted fabric, consisting of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a weight of 280 g/m².
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It provides good warmth as a standalone layer in mild conditions or as a mid-layer in colder weather. For very cold or wet conditions, it is recommended to wear it under a waterproof and insulated outer jacket.
How many pockets does this fleece have?
The Newhill fleece features two lower zip pockets and one additional zipped pocket on the sleeve.
Can I machine wash the fleece?
Yes, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying.
What does 'marl brushed-back knit-effect' mean?
This describes the fabric's appearance and texture: 'Marl' refers to the two-toned appearance of the yarn, 'brushed-back' means the inside has been brushed for softness, and 'knit-effect' indicates it mimics the look of knitted fabric.
What is the purpose of the stretch binding?
The stretch binding on the collar and hem helps to create a snug fit, which seals in warmth and prevents drafts.
Can this fleece be worn by women?
This specific model is designed as men's apparel. While unisex sizing can sometimes allow for different genders to wear it, it's best to check a size guide or consider a women's specific fit if available.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing
Avoid using fabric softener. Gently brush the fabric with a soft brush after drying to restore softness.
Zipper is sticking
Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Pilling on the fabric surface
This can occur with regular wear. Use a fabric shaver carefully to remove pills. Consider washing inside out to minimize friction.
Fleece feels less warm than expected
Ensure the fleece is dry and clean. If used as a mid-layer, check that your outer layer is effectively blocking wind.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Regatta Newhill Full Zip Fleece requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is compatible with most outerwear and can be layered over t-shirts, base layers, or collared shirts. To care for your fleece and maintain its look and feel:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the fabric's wicking properties and affect its texture.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the fabric fibers.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If wrinkles occur, gently smooth the fabric while damp or use a low-heat steamer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade the colour.
