Full details
This Regatta Great Outdoors Sweetheart 1/4 Zip fleece top is designed for women seeking a comfortable and lightweight layering piece for casual wear or outdoor activities. Its key benefit is the soft-touch, insulated fabric that provides warmth without bulk, and a convenient quarter-zip design for adjustable ventilation. A potential caveat is that the fit is regular, so those preferring a looser or more fitted style may need to consider sizing up or down.

FAQs
What material is this fleece top made of?
The top is made from 100% Polyester fleece, featuring a soft touch and insulated construction.
How do I know what size to order?
Please refer to the size chart provided in the product description, which lists UK sizes and corresponding chest measurements (e.g., UK 16: 40 in).
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
This fleece is lightweight and insulated, making it excellent for layering. For very cold weather, it's best used as a mid-layer under a heavier jacket or insulated coat.
How should I wash the fleece to keep it looking good?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's properties.
Does the fleece have pockets?
The product description does not mention the presence of pockets on this particular fleece top.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean?
Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls or fuzzies on the surface that can occur with friction during wear and washing.
Can this fleece be worn by men?
This specific model is described as a women's/ladies' fleece top.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Tumble drying on low heat with a clean tennis ball can help restore softness.
Pilling has started to appear.
While the fleece has anti-pilling properties, excessive friction or harsh washing can still cause it. Ensure the garment is washed inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items like denim.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, you can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of lip balm to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Garment has lost some of its softness.
Try re-washing the garment on a gentle cycle with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle. Hang to dry rather than tumble dry.
