The fleece is crafted from a soft, brushed-back knit-effect polyester fabric.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It provides warmth without bulk and is excellent for layering or mild conditions. For extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer combined with a more protective outer shell.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not iron. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

Yes, it features stretch binding on the hem and cuffs to ensure a snug fit and help retain warmth.
Can I wear this fleece as my only outerwear in rainy conditions?
No, this fleece is designed for warmth and comfort. It does not offer significant protection against rain or strong winds. A waterproof or windproof outer layer is recommended for such conditions.
What is the purpose of the zipped pockets?

Is this fleece suitable for men?
This specific model, the Regatta Newhill women's fleece, is designed for females. Regatta offers other fleece options that may be suitable for men.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fibers and reduce their ability to trap heat. Wash again with a mild detergent only.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric away. Lubricate the zipper with a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface
This can occur with regular wear and washing. Ensure you are washing the garment inside out to minimize friction. Use a fabric shaver gently if the pilling becomes significant.
