Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Malana Softshell Full Zip Fleece is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and agile apparel for outdoor adventures. Its key benefit lies in the active stretch fabric and underarm gussets, offering unrestricted movement during activities like hiking. A potential caveat is that it is designed as a softshell and may not provide significant insulation in extreme cold without layering.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Malana Softshell Full Zip Fleece?

The primary purpose is to provide comfortable, flexible, and breathable apparel for outdoor activities, particularly in mild to cool weather, offering ease of movement.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Malana Softshell is designed to be water-resistant, offering protection against light rain or spray. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket should be worn over it.

How should I wash the fleece?

It should be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Always close zippers before washing.

What does 'Active Stretch' mean in relation to the fabric?

'Active Stretch' refers to the fabric's ability to stretch and recover, allowing for a full range of motion without restriction, which is crucial for physical activities.

Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?

While it provides some warmth, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over thermal base layers and under a more insulated or waterproof outer jacket.

What is the benefit of the underarm gussets?

The underarm gussets are designed to increase the garment's flexibility and range of motion, specifically allowing for unrestricted arm lift without the jacket riding up.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the fleece features two lower pockets that are secured with zippers, providing safe storage for personal items.

Troubleshooting

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil tip or a wax-based lubricant along the zipper teeth.

Fleece feels less soft after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric's performance over time. Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and avoiding high heat during drying (air dry is recommended).

Pilling or fuzz balls on the fabric surface.

Pilling can occur with normal wear and friction. While it doesn't affect performance, you can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove any excess fuzz. Washing inside out can help minimize pilling.

Garment feels restrictive despite stretch fabric.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check if the underarm gussets are positioned correctly. The garment is designed for active movement, so if you feel significant restriction, consider a size up or a different fit style.
