Regatta Newhill Fleece - Blue - M

The Regatta Newhill fleece is designed primarily as a warm, comfortable layering piece for outdoor activities and casual wear. It provides insulation and can be worn on its own in mild conditions or under a jacket in colder weather.

The fleece is made from a two-tone mélange knitted fabric, consisting of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a weight of 280 g/m².

Yes, the fleece features multiple secure zipped pockets: two lower zip pockets for your hands or larger items, and one zipped pocket on the sleeve for smaller essentials.

No, the Regatta Newhill fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability. For protection against rain or heavy wind, it should be worn with a waterproof and windproof outer layer.

Machine wash the fleece inside out at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and high heat drying or ironing. Air drying or low tumble drying is recommended.

Mélange refers to a yarn or fabric that has a mixture of different colored fibers or threads, creating a slightly heathered or speckled appearance. This gives the Newhill fleece its distinctive two-tone look.

While the fleece provides good warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer in very cold conditions. For extreme cold, consider layering it with a thermal base layer and a warm, insulated outer jacket.

Ensure you are layering appropriately. The fleece is designed as a mid-layer. Add a base layer underneath for increased insulation or an outer shell for wind and water resistance.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently work the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth can help.

This is a common occurrence with fleece. Continue to wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact. Use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.

The stretch binding is designed for a snug fit. If it feels uncomfortable, ensure the fleece is the correct size. Gentle stretching of the binding by hand might offer slight relief, but avoid excessive force.
