FAQs

What is the weight of the fleece material?

The fleece is made from 170gsm (grams per square meter) polyester, providing a lightweight yet insulating feel.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided in the product description. For example, a size 14 UK corresponds to a 38-inch chest measurement.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

This fleece is designed for moderate warmth and layering. For very cold conditions, it would be best worn as a mid-layer over thermal base layers and under a waterproof or insulated outer jacket.

Can this fleece be worn by men?

This product is specifically designed for women with a tailored fit for the female form. Men seeking a similar item should look for men's specific Regatta fleece tops.

How do I care for the embroidered detail?

Follow the standard washing instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the embroidered area. Iron on a low setting, preferably on the reverse side, to protect the embroidery.

What does 'anti-pilling' mean?

Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small fuzzy balls (pills) on the surface, helping the garment maintain its smooth appearance over time.

Can I wear this fleece for high-intensity sports?

While it offers warmth, the 100% polyester material may not be as breathable as specialized moisture-wicking fabrics. It's best suited for moderate activity or as casual wear rather than intense aerobic exercise.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoiding harsh detergents. Tumble dry on low heat as per care instructions, which can help restore softness.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away and try zipping again. You can also try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.

Pilling has started to appear

While the fleece has an anti-pilling finish, excessive friction can sometimes cause minor pilling. Gently remove any pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Ensure proper washing and drying techniques are followed.
