Regatta Great Outdoors Womens/Ladies Sweetheart 1/4 Zip Fleece Top - Blue - 8

This fleece top is ideal for light outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, camping, and general casual wear in cool to mild weather. It functions well as a comfortable mid-layer or standalone piece.

Please refer to the measurements provided in the description. For example, a UK size 8 has a chest measurement of 32 inches. Compare your own body measurements to find the best fit.

No, this fleece top is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability. For protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.

While the fleece provides insulation, it is considered lightweight. For very cold winter conditions, it is best used as a layer combined with warmer thermal base layers and a heavy-duty outer jacket.

The quarter-zip is designed for regular use. To ensure its longevity, avoid forcing the zipper and keep the fabric around it clean and free from obstruction.

This 'Sweetheart' model features a specific design with a high-neck, quarter-zip, and often includes embroidered details. Other models might have different necklines (e.g., full zip, crew neck), varying fleece weights, or additional features like pockets.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Wash on a gentle cycle and consider air drying instead of tumble drying. While treated for anti-pilling, excessive friction or harsh washing can still cause some minor pilling over time.

Verify that the quarter zip is fully closed, especially the high-neck portion, to trap heat effectively. Ensure no significant gaps are present around the neckline or cuffs. For colder conditions, consider layering with additional thermal wear or a more robust outer jacket.

This can occur with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh detergents. Always wash colored garments inside out and air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve color intensity.
