Regatta Junior Brigade II Full Zip Fleece - Classic Red - 5-6 Years

No, the Regatta Junior Brigade II Fleece is not waterproof. It is made from quick-drying material with good wicking performance, which helps manage moisture, but it will not protect against heavy rain.

For mild winter days, it might suffice. However, for colder winter conditions, it is best used as a warm mid-layer underneath a waterproof and insulated outer jacket for optimal protection and warmth.

This particular fleece is designed for kids, specifically in the 5-6 years age range based on the product title. Other variants are available for different children's sizes.

No, this fleece features a cadet collar which provides neck warmth but does not include a hood.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, ideally in cold or warm water. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron or use fabric softeners, as these can damage the fleece fibers and reduce its wicking performance.

Yes, the lightweight microfleece material is designed to be breathable, aiding in moisture management and preventing overheating during activity, while still providing warmth.

It's ideal for a wide range of activities such as school, playing outdoors, casual hikes, camping, and as an everyday comfortable layer for warmth both indoors and out. Its versatility makes it suitable for almost any situation where a child needs lightweight warmth.

This fleece is designed as a lightweight layer. For colder temperatures, ensure it's worn as part of a layering system, with a suitable base layer underneath and a protective outer layer (like a waterproof or insulated jacket) on top.

While the fleece has good wicking performance, intense activity can overwhelm any fabric. Ensure the child is wearing an appropriate base layer that also wicks moisture, and consider taking breaks to cool down or removing an outer layer if they are overheating.

This can be common with fleece materials. Use a lint roller regularly to remove debris. Washing it separately or with similar fleece items can also help minimize lint transfer.

Avoid using fabric softeners, which can build up on fleece fibers. Ensure you're using a gentle detergent and tumble drying on low heat or air drying. Over-drying can also make fleece feel stiff.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, gently rub a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
