FAQs

How should I wash this Regatta Junior Brigade II Full Zip Fleece?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. You can tumble dry on low heat, but air drying is recommended due to its quick-drying properties.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to be quick-drying and offers good wicking performance to move moisture away from the body. For waterproof protection, it should be worn under a waterproof outer jacket.

Can my child wear this as an outer jacket?

Yes, in mild, dry conditions, it can be worn as an outer layer. However, for windy, rainy, or very cold temperatures, it functions best as a warm mid-layer beneath a protective outer shell.

What does 'wicking performance' mean?

Wicking performance refers to the fabric's ability to draw moisture (like sweat) away from the skin and transport it to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate. This process helps to keep your child dry and comfortable during physical activity.

What is '170 series microfleece'?

The '170 series microfleece' indicates a specific weight and density of the fleece fabric. Generally, a lower number signifies a lighter, less bulky fleece, which is excellent for layering and provides warmth without excessive weight.

Does this fleece have a hood?

No, the Regatta Junior Brigade II Full Zip Fleece does not feature a hood. It has a full zip design with a chin guard for neck protection and two lower pockets.

Is this fleece suitable for all seasons?

Yes, its versatile design makes it suitable for multiple seasons. In spring and autumn, it works well as a primary outer layer. In winter, it's an excellent insulating mid-layer when paired with a base layer and a heavier outer coat. Its lightweight nature makes it adaptable.

Troubleshooting

Fleece doesn't feel warm enough in cold weather.

This fleece is designed as a lightweight layering piece. For colder conditions, ensure your child wears an appropriate thermal base layer underneath and an outer waterproof or insulated shell over the fleece for enhanced insulation and weather protection.

Fleece seems to retain moisture or feel damp after activity.

While the fleece has good wicking performance, it can be overwhelmed if saturated or if there's no outer layer to protect from external moisture. Ensure it's not being worn in heavy rain without a waterproof outer layer. Allow it to dry thoroughly, and consider if a more robust outer layer is needed for the activity and conditions.

Zipper snags or is difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth, ensuring no fabric is caught in the teeth. Sometimes, a small amount of fabric can get trapped. Regular cleaning can help prevent debris build-up that might cause snagging.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for layering in various weather conditions.
  • Keeps children warm without restricting movement.
  • Helps prevent discomfort from sweat build-up.
  • Dries very quickly, useful for active kids and frequent washing.
  • Simple to wash and maintain.
  • Adds an extra layer of comfort and protection with the chin guard and pockets.

Cons

  • May require an additional outer shell for heavy rain or strong winds.
  • Not designed as a primary cold-weather coat in extreme temperatures.
  • Sizing is age-specific, so children may outgrow it relatively quickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using the Regatta Junior Brigade II Full Zip Fleece is straightforward. Simply put it on as a top or mid-layer. Ensure the full zip is functional and the chin guard is properly positioned when zipped to the top for maximum comfort and protection against irritation.

Compatibility

This fleece is primarily designed as a layering piece. It works best when worn:

  • Over a Base Layer: A t-shirt or thermal top provides the initial layer against the skin.
  • Under an Outer Layer: For wind, rain, or very cold temperatures, pair it with a waterproof jacket or windbreaker to create a comprehensive protection system.

Its lightweight nature and Layer Lite Fabric Technology ensure it integrates smoothly into a multi-layered outfit without adding unnecessary bulk.

Care Instructions

To maintain the performance and longevity of your fleece, follow these easycare guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  • Bleach: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, hang to air dry. Its quick-drying property means it won't take long.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

Following these steps will help preserve the fabric's integrity and wicking performance.
