Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hadfield Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a reliable and warming mid-layer for outdoor activities like hiking and countryside walks. Its key benefit is providing comfortable warmth without bulk, thanks to its lightweight microfleece construction. A potential caveat is its function as a mid-layer, meaning it is best paired with other garments for full weather protection. Key features include hardwearing polyester microfleece, two zipped pockets for secure storage, and stretch binding at the cuffs and hem to lock out the elements, ensuring a streamlined and functional design for active use.

FAQs
What is the primary use of this fleece?
The Regatta Hadfield Fleece is designed as a warming mid-layer, ideal for hiking, camping, and general outdoor activities in cooler weather.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and is best worn under a waterproof or water-resistant outer layer in wet conditions.
How should I care for my Hadfield Fleece?
You can machine wash it at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
It can be worn as an outer layer in dry, mild conditions. However, for optimal performance and protection against wind and rain, it is recommended as a mid-layer.
What material is the fleece made from?
It is made from hardwearing polyester microfleece.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, it features two zipped pockets for secure storage.
How does the stretch binding help?
The stretch binding on the cuffs and hem helps to keep the fleece in place and prevent cold air from entering, thus retaining body heat.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. If the issue persists, consider if a larger size might be more suitable for your intended use and fit preference.
Zippers are difficult to operate
Gently pull the zipper. If it snags, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth can help smooth operation.
Fleece loses warmth after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Tumble dry on low heat to help restore loft.
