Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Women's Newhill Hooded Fleece is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and stylish layer for cooler weather. Its key benefit is providing warmth and practicality with a cosy marl knit-effect fabric, grown-on hood, and zipped pockets. A potential caveat is that its primary function is as a mid-layer, so it may not offer sufficient protection in extreme cold or wet conditions on its own. This fleece is ideal for casual hikes, everyday wear, and layering.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Newhill Hooded Fleece?

The Newhill Hooded Fleece is designed as a warm, comfortable mid-layer for women, ideal for casual hikes and everyday wear in cooler conditions.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability, and should be worn with a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.

How do I wash the fleece to maintain its softness?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Wash similar colours together.

Can I wear this as an outer layer in winter?

While it provides warmth, it is best used as a mid-layer. For significant winter conditions, you will need an insulating outer layer for wind and water protection.

What does 'marl knit-effect fabric' mean?

This refers to the fabric's appearance, which mimics the look of a knitted material with mixed yarn colours, giving it a textured and visually appealing finish.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the fleece features zipped pockets, which provide secure storage for small items like keys or a phone.

What is the 'grown-on hood'?

A grown-on hood is permanently attached to the main body of the garment, as opposed to a hood that can be zipped off or added.

What is the 'brushed backing'?

The brushed backing means the inside of the fleece fabric has been treated to raise the fibers, making it exceptionally soft and comfortable against the skin.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers. Air drying or a low-heat tumble dry is recommended.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to ease the fabric out. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Pilling on the surface of the fleece.

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out, use a gentle cycle, and avoid overcrowding the washing machine. Use a fabric shaver for existing pills.

Hood feels too loose.

The stretch binding around the hood provides a snug fit. If it feels too loose, consider layering with a hat for extra warmth and a better fit, or ensure the garment size is correct.
