FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Regatta Junior Brigade II Micro Fleece Jacket is not waterproof. It offers good wicking performance and is quick-drying, but for protection against heavy rain, it should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell.

What age range is this jacket suitable for?

This particular variant is sized for children aged 2-3 years. Other sizes are available, so please check the specific product listing for the correct age group.

Can this jacket be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, in mild, dry conditions, it can be worn as an outer layer. However, for windy or wet weather, it's best utilized as a warm mid-layer beneath a windproof or waterproof jacket.

What is the material composition?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester 170 series microfleece, which is known for its lightweight warmth and easy-care properties.

How do I wash this fleece jacket?

Machine wash at 30C on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or iron. It can be tumble dried on low heat or air dried.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, it features two practical lower fleece pockets, ideal for keeping little hands warm or storing small items.

Is the chin guard comfortable for children?

Yes, the integrated chin guard is designed to prevent the zipper from irritating your child's skin, adding an extra layer of comfort when the jacket is fully zipped.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.

This lightweight fleece is designed for layering. For colder temperatures, ensure your child wears appropriate base layers underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell on top to maximize warmth.

Zipper snags or gets stuck.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper as you try to move the slider. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage. Keeping the zipper clean and occasionally applying a silicone-based lubricant can help.

Fleece material feels matted or less soft after washing.

Ensure you are washing the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30C and avoiding fabric softeners, which can build up on fleece fibers. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can sometimes help restore loft, but air drying is often best to preserve the material's texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides lightweight warmth without bulk
  • Excellent layering piece for variable weather
  • Quick-drying and good moisture-wicking properties
  • Full zip with chin guard for comfort and easy wear
  • Easy to care for and durable 100% polyester material
  • Practical lower pockets for warmth or small items

Cons

  • Not waterproof; requires an additional outer layer in heavy rain
  • Limited wind resistance as a standalone outer layer in strong winds
  • Microfleece can attract lint or pet hair
  • May not provide sufficient warmth in extreme cold without heavy layering

This jacket requires no complicated setup; simply unpack and wear. It's designed as a versatile layering garment, compatible with various outfits. For optimal warmth in colder conditions, layer it over a base layer and under a waterproof or windproof outer shell. For mild weather, it works well as a standalone jacket. Ensure you select the correct size (e.g., 2-3 Years) for a comfortable fit that allows for layering without being too restrictive.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30C. Use a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the fleece's wicking ability and breathability over time.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. The quick-drying properties mean it will dry relatively fast.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage the fleece fibers.
  5. Bleaching/Dry Cleaning: Do not bleach or dry clean. These processes can harm the fabric.
