FAQs

What is Symmetry fleece?

Symmetry fleece is a type of polyester fabric developed by Regatta. It is designed to be quick-drying, easy to care for, lightweight, and features an anti-pill finish for enhanced durability and a consistently smooth appearance.

How is this fleece made from recycled plastic bottles?

The fleece fabric is partially made by processing recycled plastic bottles into polyester fibers, which are then used to create the fabric. This reduces waste and the need for virgin raw materials.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

This fleece is designed as a midlayer, providing lightweight insulation. For very cold conditions, it is best worn in combination with a thermal base layer and a windproof or waterproof outer shell for optimal warmth and protection.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided in the product description. The measurements listed are for the garment itself, not body measurements. Compare these to your own measurements or a similar garment you own for a good fit.

Can I wear this fleece for sports?

Yes, its lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying properties make it suitable for various sports and outdoor activities, especially in mild to cool weather. It's ideal for hiking, walking, and general active use.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

'Anti-pill' means the fabric is treated or constructed in a way that resists the formation of small fiber balls (pills) on the surface, helping the garment maintain a smoother appearance over time.

How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron on high heat.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected

Ensure the fleece is layered appropriately over a base layer. For very cold conditions, consider adding a heavier outer layer. Check that the quarter zip is fully closed for maximum warmth.

Fabric appears pilled after washing

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or harsh washing can sometimes cause pilling. Ensure you are washing with similar items, using a gentle cycle, and avoid overcrowding the machine. Air drying can also help minimize friction.

Zip gets stuck

Gently try to move the zip pull back and forth. If debris is caught, carefully remove it. A small amount of lubricant, such as a graphite pencil or wax, applied sparingly to the zip teeth can help.

Garment loses its softness after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce softness. Re-washing with a mild detergent without softener, or air drying, might help restore some softness.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine Washable: Follow standard machine wash guidelines, typically on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes affect the performance of technical fabrics.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric fibers.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting. However, fleece generally does not require ironing.
  • Washing with Similar Colors: It is recommended to wash the fleece with garments of similar colors to prevent color bleeding.
