FAQs
What is the fabric weight of this fleece?
The fabric weight is 140gsm (grams per square meter), indicating a lightweight fleece.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the fleece itself is not waterproof, but it is breathable and has a durable water repellent finish, offering some resistance to light moisture.
Can this fleece be worn by men and women?
While this specific listing is for a men's size L, the 'Montes' style from Regatta is often available in unisex sizing or specific men's/women's fits depending on the color and retailer.
How do I know if the size L will fit me?
The product information specifies a UK men's waist size of 42 inches. It's recommended to check the specific Regatta size chart for detailed measurements of chest, waist, and sleeve length for size L.
Is the half-zip long enough to offer significant ventilation?
The half-zip typically extends to the chest area, allowing for adjustable ventilation to manage body temperature during activity.
What are the primary benefits of the raglan sleeves?
Raglan sleeves are designed to run diagonally from the underarm to the collarbone, which provides a wider range of motion for the arms and shoulders and reduces chafing under backpack straps.
How should I care for the durable water repellent (DWR) finish?
To maintain the DWR finish, avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying. Re-apply a DWR treatment periodically if you notice water no longer beads on the surface.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener. Try washing again with a mild detergent and air dry or tumble dry on low.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil can help lubricate the zipper if needed.
Fleece is not as warm as expected.
This fleece is designed as a lightweight layer. For colder conditions, consider layering it over a thermal base layer or under a warmer jacket.
