Full details
The Regatta Newhill men's fleece is designed for adult males seeking a versatile layering piece for outdoor activities or casual wear. Its key benefit is providing reliable warmth and comfort through its soft, knit-effect fabric and practical features like zipped pockets. A potential caveat is that the mélange fabric might show wear more readily than solid colors over time. This fleece combines a stylish, two-tone mélange look with functional design elements, making it suitable for a range of temperatures and settings.

FAQs
What is the material composition of the Newhill fleece?
The fleece is made from a blend of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a fabric weight of 280 g/m².
How many pockets does this fleece have?
The fleece features a total of three zipped pockets: two on the lower body and one on the sleeve.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Newhill fleece provides good warmth and is excellent for layering. For very cold or harsh conditions, it's best used as a mid-layer under a more robust outer jacket.
Can I wear this fleece for hiking?
Yes, its warmth, breathability, and comfortable fit make it ideal for hiking and other outdoor activities.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
Does the fleece come in other colors?
This guide focuses on the Brown variant. Please check the product listing for availability of other colors or styles.
What does 'marl' fabric mean?
Marl fabric is created by blending fibers of different colors before spinning, resulting in a heathered or mottled appearance, like the two-tone effect on this fleece.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Fleece feels less warm than expected
Check if the fleece is clean; dirt and oils can reduce insulating properties. Ensure it's properly layered with other garments. For extreme cold, consider a thicker outer layer.
Pilling has appeared on the fabric
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove pills. Avoid harsh washing or drying methods that can exacerbate pilling.
Stretch binding feels loose
Ensure the garment was not subjected to excessive heat during washing or drying, as this can degrade elastic. Gentle hand washing and air drying are best for preserving elasticity.
