Symmetry fleece is a type of polyester fabric used by Regatta. It is known for being lightweight, warm, and breathable. In this product, it's brushed on one side for softness and treated to resist pilling on the other.
The fleece provides good warmth as a layer. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer underneath a waterproof and insulated outer jacket.
The fleece is available in various children's UK sizes, from 3-4 years up to 15-16 years. Refer to the product sizing information or a standard children's size chart for guidance based on age and height.
Yes, the design is unisex, making it suitable for all children. While some listings may specify gender, the style and fit are generally appropriate for any child.
Product details do not explicitly mention pockets. It is common for this style of half-zip fleece to sometimes include side pockets, but it is best to check specific product images or descriptions if pockets are a requirement.
The anti-pill treatment is designed to significantly reduce bobbling over time. However, harsh washing or constant abrasion can eventually affect its performance. Following care instructions will maximize its longevity.
The fleece is 170gsm (grams per square meter), which indicates a medium weight, providing a good balance of warmth and breathability without being too heavy.
Ensure the garment is washed inside out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid over-drying on high heat. If pilling persists, use a fabric shaver gently on the affected areas.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can leave a residue that reduces softness. Try re-washing with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle (ensure it's suitable for polyester) and air dry.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, ensure no material is trapped. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax can sometimes help.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required.
Compatibility: The fleece is designed as a versatile clothing item compatible with various outfits and weather conditions as a mid or outer layer.
Care Instructions: To maintain the fleece's softness and anti-pill properties:
