FAQs
What is Symmetry fleece?
Symmetry fleece is Regatta's own technology, providing quick-dry, easy-care comfort. It is designed to be lightweight, breathable, and features an anti-pill finish for enhanced durability.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the detailed Regatta Womens sizing guide provided in the product description. Measurements are for the garment, not body measurements, so compare them to a similar item you own for a better fit.
Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?
The Sweetheart Fleece is best suited as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it should be worn in conjunction with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell, such as a waterproof or insulated jacket.
Is the fleece made entirely from recycled materials?
The fleece is partially made from recycled plastic bottles. Specifically, the 170gsm Symmetry fleece used is 100% recycled polyester.
How do I clean the fleece?
The fleece is machine washable. It is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
An anti-pill finish prevents small balls of fiber ('pills') from forming on the fabric's surface during wear and washing, ensuring the garment looks newer for longer.
What is the purpose of the quarter-zip?
The quarter-zip allows for adjustable ventilation. You can zip it up fully for more warmth or unzip it to cool down quickly without fully removing the garment.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough or is pilling.
Ensure you are washing according to the care instructions, using a mild detergent and avoiding abrasive materials in the wash. While the anti-pill finish is durable, extreme friction can still affect the fabric over time.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric away. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve movement.
Garment shrunk after washing.
Verify that the washing machine was not set to too high a temperature and that it was not tumble-dried on a high heat. Allow the garment to air dry to prevent shrinkage.
Color has faded.
Wash the garment inside out in cold water. Avoid direct sunlight exposure when drying, as prolonged exposure can cause colors to fade.
