FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Regatta Junior Brigade II Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and wick moisture, making it an excellent layering piece, but it does not offer protection against rain. For wet conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof outer jacket.

What age group is this fleece suitable for?

This specific fleece is sized for children aged 3-4 years. Regatta offers other variants in different age groups, so please refer to the size chart for the best fit for your child.

Can this fleece be worn as a stand-alone jacket?

Yes, in mild, dry weather conditions, it can be comfortably worn as a stand-alone jacket. However, for colder, windy, or wet conditions, it is best utilized as a mid-layer underneath a protective outer shell.

How do I ensure the fleece stays soft after washing?

To help maintain softness, wash the fleece in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can actually reduce the fabric's wicking ability and lead to pilling. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Does this fleece have a hood?

No, the Regatta Junior Brigade II Fleece features a full zip design with a chin guard but does not include a hood. It's designed to be a streamlined layering piece.

What material is this fleece made from?

This fleece is crafted from lightweight microfleece fabric, which is typically 100% polyester, known for its warmth, quick-drying, and wicking properties.

Troubleshooting

My child feels cold even with the fleece on.

The fleece is an excellent mid-layer. If the weather is very cold, ensure your child has a suitable base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer layer over the fleece for optimal warmth and protection.

The zipper is sticking or difficult to pull up/down.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If it continues, ensure the zipper is clean from debris. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage.

The fleece fabric is starting to look 'bobbly' or pilled.

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece over time due to friction. To minimize this, wash inside out and avoid using fabric softener. You can gently remove existing pills with a fabric shaver or a de-fuzzing tool.

The fleece isn't drying as quickly as expected after washing or getting wet.

Ensure the fleece is not overloaded in the washing machine, allowing for proper rinsing and spin. For drying, tumble dry on a low heat setting, or air dry by laying it flat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct strong heat.
