Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Alven Full Zip Hooded Fleece is an ideal mid-layer for active hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize agility and thermal regulation. Crafted with a combination of soft woven fleece and high-stretch panels, it provides excellent insulation without restricting range of motion; however, it is designed primarily as a technical layer and may lack the heavy wind-blocking capabilities of a dedicated outer shell jacket.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
It is designed to be breathable, so while it insulates against the cold, it is not windproof. A shell jacket is recommended over it in very windy conditions.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
Yes, it functions well as an outer layer in dry, cool conditions, but it is not waterproof.
How should I wash the Alven fleece?
Wash it on a cool 30°C cycle without fabric softener to protect the material and stretch panels.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features a grown-on (attached) hood with stretch binding for a secure fit.
Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?
The lower pockets and the chest pocket are zipped and sized to securely hold standard smartphones and outdoor essentials.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or sticky
Clear any lint or debris from the teeth and ensure no fabric is caught; applying a small amount of silicone lubricant can help.
Garment losing its shape
Avoid machine drying at high temperatures; use a gentle cool cycle or air dry flat to preserve fabric memory.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical fleece, it is designed to be worn over a base layer for optimal moisture-wicking. It is highly compatible as a mid-layer underneath a waterproof shell in harsher weather. To care for your garment, wash it in a cool cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical stretch fibers of the panels. Always hang dry to maintain the integrity of the elasticated bindings and the fleece fabric.
