FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Regatta Junior Brigade II Full Zip Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and wick moisture, making it an excellent mid-layer, but you'll need an additional waterproof outer shell for protection in rain.

What size should I choose for my child?

This fleece is sized for children, currently available in 7-8 Years. For the best fit, refer to Regatta's size chart. If your child is between sizes, consider sizing up for longer wear and layering comfort.

Can this fleece be worn as a stand-alone jacket?

Yes, it can be worn as a stand-alone jacket in cool, dry conditions. Its lightweight warmth and quick-drying properties make it suitable for various outdoor activities. For colder or wet weather, it functions best as a mid-layer.

How do I prevent the zipper from irritating my child's chin?

The fleece is designed with a `chin guard` to prevent this. Simply ensure the chin guard flap is correctly positioned over the top of the zipper when fully zipped up.

Is the fleece suitable for sensitive skin?

The fleece is made from soft 100% Polyester microfleece. While generally well-tolerated, if your child has very sensitive skin, you might consider wearing a soft, natural fiber base layer underneath.

Does it come with a hood?

No, this specific model, the Brigade II Full Zip Fleece, features a `cadet collar` for neck warmth but does not include a hood.

How durable is the fleece for active kids?

Crafted from 170 Series Microfleece, it's designed to be lightweight yet durable enough for everyday wear and outdoor play. Its `Easycare` nature also contributes to its longevity, provided care instructions are followed.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm or wicking performance seems reduced.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing, as it can block the fibers and reduce their effectiveness. Also, check for pilling that might affect insulation.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appearing on the fleece surface.

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, use a fabric shaver or lint roller carefully to remove them.

Static cling when wearing the fleece.

This can happen in dry environments. Try using an anti-static spray or hanging the fleece to air dry instead of tumble drying, as static often builds up during machine drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for active children.
  • Quick-drying and good wicking properties keep kids comfortable.
  • Full zip and chin guard enhance wearability and comfort.
  • Easy to care for and maintain.
  • Versatile as a mid-layer or light outer layer.
  • Practical pockets for small items or keeping hands warm.

Cons

  • Not waterproof or water-resistant, unsuitable for heavy rain as an outer layer.
  • May generate static electricity in dry conditions.
  • Can be prone to pilling over time with heavy use or improper washing.
  • Limited wind resistance, may require an additional shell in windy conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fleece requires no complex setup; simply put it on! Its `Layer Lite Fabric Technology` makes it highly compatible as a layering piece. It can be worn over a base layer (like a t-shirt or long-sleeved top) and under a waterproof or windproof outer shell for comprehensive protection in colder or wetter conditions.

For care, the fleece is designed to be `Easycare`. It is made from 100% Polyester. Follow these guidelines to maintain its quality:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fabric's wicking ability.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. The quick-drying property means it won't take long.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage fleece fibers.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
