Full details
This Regatta Garrian II men's zip-up fleece in Grey (Size S) is designed for adult males seeking a durable and cozy layering piece for colder weather. Its key benefit is providing lasting warmth with a stylish mini stripe microfleece finish. A potential caveat is that while durable, it's primarily designed for moderate cold and may not suffice as a standalone outer layer in extreme conditions. Key features include 430gsm sherpa-backed polyester microfleece, two zipped lower pockets, and machine washable fabric.

FAQs
What is the GSM of the fleece?
The fleece is made from 430gsm sherpa-backed polyester microfleece, indicating a dense and warm fabric weight.
Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in the rain?
No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and is best used as a mid-layer or on its own in dry, cool conditions. For rain, an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its softness?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. To preserve softness, tumble dry on low heat or air dry and avoid using fabric softeners.
Are the pockets insulated?
The fleece features two zipped lower pockets, which provide hand warmth due to the fleece material, but they are not specifically insulated beyond the garment's overall construction.
What does 'Sherpa-backed' mean?
'Sherpa-backed' refers to a soft, plush, and insulating lining (similar to sherpa wool) on the inside of the fleece, enhancing warmth and comfort.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter temperatures?
It provides good warmth for moderate cold and can be layered effectively. For extremely cold conditions, it's recommended to use it as part of a layering system with a warmer base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Ensure the fleece is fully dry before wearing. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can reduce the insulating properties of fleece.
Zipper is sticking
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax can help lubricate the zipper teeth.
Pilling on the surface
Some pilling is normal with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid abrasive contact.
