FAQs

What is Symmetry fleece?

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.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

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.

How do I choose the right size?

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.

Can this fleece be worn by both boys and girls?

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.

Does the fleece have pockets?

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.

How durable is the anti-pill treatment?

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.

What is the GSM of the fleece?

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.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears to be pilling or bobbling excessively.

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.

Fleece feels less soft after washing.

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.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft and comfortable brushed interior for next-to-skin wear.
  • Anti-pill finish ensures the fleece looks good for longer.
  • Half-zip allows for adjustable ventilation.
  • Stretch binding provides a secure and comfortable fit.
  • Suitable for layering in various weather conditions.
  • Durable material designed for active children.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough as a standalone jacket in very cold weather.
  • Limited pocket functionality (no specific mention of pockets in product details).
  • Only available in polyester, which may not suit all preferences for natural fibers.
  • The blue colour might not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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:

  1. Washing: Machine washable. Follow the care label instructions, typically a gentle cycle with similar colours.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fleece's properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fibers.
  4. Ironing: Generally not required. If necessary, iron on a very low setting, avoiding direct contact with any printed logos or embellishments.
