FAQs
What is the material composition of the Newhill fleece?
The fleece is made from a two-tone mélange knitted fabric consisting of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a weight of 280 g/m².
How many pockets does this fleece have?
The fleece features two lower zip pockets and one additional zipped pocket on the sleeve.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
While it provides good warmth, it is not waterproof. For very cold or snowy conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof and insulated outer shell.
Can I wear this fleece for sports activities?
Yes, its breathability and stretch features make it suitable for moderate outdoor activities like hiking or walking. For high-intensity sports, consider its layering potential.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to Regatta's sizing guide and measure yourself accurately. The stretch binding offers some flexibility, but consulting the specific measurements for chest and waist is recommended.
Is the recycled polyester material as durable as regular polyester?
Yes, recycled polyester generally offers comparable durability and performance to virgin polyester while offering environmental benefits.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing.
Ensure you did not use fabric softener, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Air dry instead of tumble drying on high heat.
Zipper is stiff or sticking.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax along the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Pilling or bobbling on the surface.
Pilling is common with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. A fabric shaver can be used to gently remove excess pills.
