FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece jacket?
The Regatta Hadfield Fleece Jacket is designed as a versatile mid-layer to provide warmth and comfort, suitable for outdoor activities or casual wear, especially when layered with other clothing.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this fleece jacket is not waterproof. It is designed for insulation and should be worn with a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
How do I find the correct size?
Please refer to the size chart provided in the product information. Chest measurements are given for sizes S (38 in) through 5XL (57 in). For this XL size, the chest measurement is 44 inches.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
While it offers good warmth for its weight, for very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer this fleece jacket with a thermal base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell for maximum protection.
How should I wash the fleece jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C using a mild process. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not iron or dry clean.
Does it have internal pockets?
The product description mentions two lower pockets, both with zips. It does not specify internal pockets.
What does 'Hardwearing' fabric technology mean?
'Hardwearing' indicates that the fabric is durable and designed to resist wear and tear from regular use, maintaining its structure and appearance over time.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant applied sparingly to the teeth might help.
Fleece feels less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade fleece fibers over time. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can help restore some softness. Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature.
Pilling (small balls of fiber) appears on the surface.
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece, especially with frequent use and washing. To minimize it, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact with other items in the wash. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove existing pills.
