FAQs
What is the main benefit of the microfleece material?
The microfleece is hardwearing, providing durability and resistance to wear and tear, while also being lightweight and bulk-free for comfortable layering.
Is this fleece suitable for heavy rain?
The fleece itself is not waterproof. It is best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions, or as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket for added insulation and protection.
How do I know if the sizing is correct?
Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta. The fleece features stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem for a more adaptable and streamlined fit.
Can I wash this fleece in a washing machine?
Yes, the fleece can be machine washed at 40°C. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and ironing.
What does 'Recycled Fabric' mean in the product description?
It means the fleece is made from recycled plastic bottles, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
How many pockets does the fleece have?
The fleece features two zipped lower pockets for secure storage.
Is this fleece warm enough for winter?
It provides good warmth for its weight, making it suitable for cooler weather. For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to use it as a mid-layer with a warmer outer jacket.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using the correct detergent and have avoided fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers. Tumble dry on a low heat setting as recommended.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface
Some minor pilling is normal with microfleece over time. To minimize, wash the fleece inside out and avoid washing it with abrasive items like denim or items with velcro.
Zipper is difficult to close
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the slider up and down. If necessary, use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the zipper teeth.
