FAQs

What is Symmetry Fleece?

Symmetry fleece is a specific type of polyester fleece used by Regatta that is designed to be quick-drying, easy to care for, and features an anti-pill finish for durability and a consistently good appearance.

Is this fleece waterproof or windproof?

No, this is a lightweight fleece designed primarily for warmth and comfort. It is not waterproof or windproof and is intended to be worn as a mid-layer, potentially under a waterproof or windproof outer shell for protection against the elements.

How should I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available on the product page or retailer's website. Measurements like chest circumference and length are usually provided to help you find the best fit.

Can this fleece be worn by men?

This specific model, the 'Sweethart', is designed and sized for women. Regatta offers a range of fleece options for men as well.

What is the GSM of the fleece?

The fleece is 170 gsm (grams per square meter), which indicates a lightweight fabric suitable for layering without being overly bulky.

How do I care for the fleece to maximize its lifespan?

Machine wash gently at 40°C with mild detergent, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Do not iron or dry clean. Proper care helps maintain the soft feel and anti-pill properties.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

An anti-pill finish prevents small balls of fiber (pills) from forming on the fabric's surface during wear and washing. This keeps the garment looking smoother and newer for longer.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can reduce the effectiveness of the fleece fibers. Tumble drying on a low heat can sometimes help restore softness.

Pilling is appearing on the surface.

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or rough handling during washing can contribute to pilling. Check washing machine load for items that may cause excessive friction. Use a gentler wash cycle.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. You can try gently lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax (like beeswax). Avoid forcing the zipper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft and comfortable feel due to brushed inner fleece.
  • Durable with an anti-pill finish for long-lasting wear.
  • Lightweight design is ideal for layering.
  • Easy to care for and quick to dry.
  • Provides good warmth for its weight.

Cons

  • May require an additional outer layer in very cold or wet conditions.
  • Specific fit may vary, so checking size charts is recommended.
  • Primarily designed as a mid-layer, not a standalone waterproof or windproof garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This fleece requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. The zip neck allows for easy adjustment of ventilation.

Compatibility:

The 'Sweethart' fleece is designed as a women's garment and can be layered with various base layers (e.g., t-shirts, long-sleeved tops) and outer shells (e.g., waterproof jackets, windbreakers, parkas) depending on the weather conditions and activity.

Care:

To maintain the fleece's softness and performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a gentle 40°C (104°F). Use a mild detergent.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. Avoid high heat which can damage the fibers.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric does not require pressing.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
