FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece top?

The Regatta Sweetheart Fleece Top is designed as a comfortable, warm, and lightweight mid-layer for casual outdoor activities and everyday wear in cooler conditions.

How do I determine my correct size?

Please refer to the 'Size Guide (UK)' provided in the product details. It lists chest measurements corresponding to each UK dress size. For example, a UK size 22 has a chest measurement of 48 inches.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

While the fleece is insulated and warm, it is best suited as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it under a heavier jacket or coat for maximum protection.

Can I wear this during light rain?

This fleece top is primarily designed for warmth and comfort. It is not waterproof. However, it can be worn under a waterproof outer layer to provide insulation during light rain showers.

What does 'Anti-Pilling' mean for the fabric?

'Anti-Pilling' means the fabric is treated or manufactured to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the garment retain its smooth appearance and feel after washing and wear.

How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and ironing. Do not dry clean. This helps preserve the fabric's softness and anti-pilling properties.

What are the benefits of the quarter zip design?

The quarter zip allows for easy temperature regulation. You can zip it up for more warmth around the neck or zip it down to open the neckline for increased ventilation when you get warmer.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the fabric's texture and performance over time. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting.

Pilling is appearing on the fabric.

While the fleece is designed to be anti-pilling, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim. Use the recommended washing and drying settings.

The quarter zip is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) can be applied to the teeth.
