Full details
This Regatta Newhill men's walking fleece is designed for adult males seeking a warm and comfortable layering option for outdoor activities on chilly days. Its key benefit is providing excellent warmth and a snug fit thanks to soft brushed backing and stretch binding, with a minor caveat being its specific suitability as a mid-layer rather than a primary waterproof outer shell. The fleece is crafted from a marl brushed-back knit-effect fabric, offering versatility and style for adventures, featuring multiple zipped pockets for secure storage of essentials.

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too snug, consider wearing a lighter base layer underneath or a larger size if available.
Zippers are sticking.
Gently rub a pencil lead (graphite) or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can damage it.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Pilling can occur with normal wear. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying. A fabric shaver can be used to gently remove existing pills.
Loss of warmth over time.
Ensure the fleece is clean. Oils and dirt can mat down the fibers. Follow the recommended washing instructions to maintain loft and insulating properties.
