Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Alven Full Zip Hooded Fleece is designed for adult male hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable mid-layer that balances thermal insulation with high-mobility performance. Featuring Extol stretch panels and a warm woven fleece construction, it is ideal for active treks and alpine scrambles; however, users should note that the fabric is optimized for breathability rather than heavy-duty waterproofing, necessitating an outer shell in extreme weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the polyester fabric and stretch panels, machine wash the fleece on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the synthetic fibers. Always zip the pockets before laundering to protect the hardware. For the best fit, ensure you choose the correct size based on standard layering preferences—if you intend to wear a thick base layer underneath, consider how the fleece fits over your specific clothing combination. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the shape of the stretch binding.
