Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Roswind Water Resistant Fleece is designed for adult women who need a versatile, insulating layer for walking, commuting, and casual outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is the integration of Hydropel water-repellent technology, which provides essential protection against light rain without sacrificing breathability. While it excels as a mid-layer for everyday insulation, users should note that it is designed for light weather resistance and is not a replacement for a full-coverage waterproof rain shell in heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Roswind fleece completely waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent. It is designed to shed light rain, but it will not keep you dry in heavy or prolonged downpours.
Can I wear this as a layer under a raincoat?
Yes, the clean silhouette makes it an excellent mid-layer for added warmth under a waterproof shell.
How should I wash this fleece?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying to protect the water-repellent finish.
What is the primary material used?
The fleece is made from high-quality polyester, designed to provide consistent insulation.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, it features three zipped pockets: one on the chest and two at the lower hem.
How do I adjust the fit at the bottom?
The garment includes an adjustable shock-cord hem that you can pull to tighten the fit and retain more body heat.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric
The water-repellent finish may be wearing off. Consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment following the garment's wash instructions to restore protection.
Cuffs feeling loose over time
Ensure that the fabric has not been stretched out by high-heat drying. Always follow care labels to maintain the integrity of the stretch binding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment uses technical polyester and a water-repellent finish, proper care is essential to maintain its performance. To wash, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent—avoid using fabric softeners as they can strip the Hydropel coating. Always air dry the garment; avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent damage to the polyester fibers. Regarding compatibility, the fleece features a trim, clean fit, making it highly compatible as a mid-layer under larger waterproof jackets without feeling overly restrictive or bulky. For the best fit, match the sizing to your standard outer layer preference.
