Full details

FAQs
What is Symmetry Fleece?
Symmetry Fleece is a proprietary fabric used by Regatta. It's designed to be hardwearing and soft, featuring a brushed inner for comfort and an anti-pill finish on the outer side for durability.
Is this fleece warm enough for winter?
This is a lightweight fleece, best suited as a midlayer. For winter, it should be layered with warmer insulating garments and a waterproof/windproof outer shell for optimal warmth.
How should I wash the fleece?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, tumble drying on high heat, and ironing to preserve the fabric's quality.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
Anti-pill means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface that can occur with wear and washing, helping to maintain a smoother appearance.
Can this be worn for active sports?
Yes, its lightweight and breathable nature makes it suitable for many outdoor activities like hiking, walking, or casual sports where moderate warmth and freedom of movement are desired.
What material is the fleece made from?
The fleece is primarily made from 80% Polyester and 20% Polyester, specifically using the 170 gsm Symmetry Fleece.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Tumble drying on a low heat can also help restore softness.
Pilling is appearing on the fabric surface
While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction can sometimes cause minor pilling. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver. Avoid washing with items that have abrasive surfaces like zippers or velcro.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper feels stiff, you can try rubbing a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate it.
