FAQs
What is Symmetry fleece?
Symmetry is a type of fleece technology used by Regatta that is designed to be quick-drying, easy to care for, and comfortable. It features an anti-pill finish on one side and a brushed inner for softness.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Sweetheart Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed as a mid-layer for insulation and is best worn under a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the 'Size Guide' section in the product description. Measurements are provided for the garment itself, not body measurements, so compare these to a similar garment you own.
Can this fleece be worn by men?
This specific product is designed with women's sizing and fit in mind. Regatta offers men's versions of their fleece tops with different cuts and sizing.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
An anti-pill finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small fiber balls (pills) on the surface, helping the garment look newer for longer.
How much of the garment is made from recycled materials?
The fleece is partially made from recycled plastic bottles. The fabric is described as 170gsm recycled 100% polyester Symmetry fleece.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, it provides good warmth. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over a thermal base layer and potentially wear a heavier outer jacket over the top for maximum insulation.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener, which can sometimes affect the fleece's texture. Tumble drying on a low setting can help restore softness.
Pilling has started to appear
While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can still cause some pilling. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver. Ensure the garment is washed and dried according to care instructions to minimize this.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric away. If the zipper still sticks, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of wax can help lubricate it.
