Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Newhill Full Zip Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, warm, and stylish layering piece for outdoor adventures or casual wear. Its primary benefit is providing reliable warmth and comfort through its knit-effect fabric and practical features like zipped pockets. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit, as stretch binding ensures a snug, rather than loose, silhouette. Key features include its soft marl brushed-back knit-effect fabric, stretch binding for a secure fit, and multiple zipped pockets for secure storage of essentials.

Does the fleece have a hood?

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch binding is designed for a snug fit, but if it feels uncomfortable, consider sizing up.
Pilling or snagging on the fabric.
This can occur with knit fabrics. Avoid abrasive surfaces and wash with similar textured items. Minor pilling can sometimes be carefully removed with a fabric shaver.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax can help.
