FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece top?
The Regatta Great Outdoors 1/4 Zip Fleece Top is designed as a versatile, lightweight, and insulated layer for warmth during outdoor activities or casual wear in moderate conditions.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided in the product description. It lists UK dress sizes and corresponding chest measurements in inches. Measure your chest circumference for the best fit.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
This fleece provides insulation suitable for moderate cold. For extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer combined with a warm base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.
How should I wash and care for the fleece?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not bleach or iron. Avoid dry cleaning.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean?
An anti-pilling finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls of fiber (pills) that can appear on the surface after washing and wear, helping the garment look newer for longer.
Can this fleece be worn by men?
This specific model is designed for women. Check for men's specific fleece ranges if you are looking for a men's fit.
What material is the fleece made from?
It is made from 100% polyester, offering a soft touch and lightweight warmth.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting as recommended.
Pilling is appearing on the fabric.
While the fleece has an anti-pilling finish, some minor pilling can occur with heavy wear or friction. Gently remove any pills with a fabric comb or shaver. Washing inside out can also help reduce friction.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. You can try gently working the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the zipper teeth can help it slide more smoothly.
Fleece doesn't feel warm enough.
This fleece is designed as a mid-layer for moderate temperatures. For colder conditions, consider layering it over a thermal base layer or wearing it under a heavier, insulated jacket.
