Regatta Newhill Fleece - Grey - XL

The Regatta Newhill Fleece is designed primarily as a warm, comfortable mid-layer for outdoor activities or as a casual standalone piece in mild weather. It provides insulation and comfort.

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available on the retailer's website. The fleece should offer a snug fit due to the stretch binding, allowing for comfortable movement.

While it can offer some protection against light drizzle, it is not waterproof. For rainy conditions, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell.

Wash your fleece as needed, following the care instructions. Over-washing can sometimes reduce the fabric's loft and softness.

Knit-effect fabric refers to the appearance and texture of the material, which mimics the look of knitted wool or cotton, but is typically made from synthetic fibers like polyester for durability and insulation.

The fleece features three zipped pockets, which are generally designed to securely hold essential items like a smartphone, keys, or a wallet. Pocket size can vary slightly, but they are typically adequate for most standard smartphone models.

The stretch binding at the cuffs and hem helps to create a snug fit, which is crucial for trapping body heat and preventing cold air from entering the garment, thereby enhancing its warmth.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch binding should offer a snug fit, not a restrictive one. Consider a size up if movement feels limited.

Gently pull the zipper tab back and forth. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoiding high heat in the dryer. Consider adding a fabric softener during the rinse cycle, but avoid excessive use which can reduce wicking properties.

Pilling can occur with friction. Minimize rubbing against rough surfaces. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove small pills if they appear.
