Full details
The Regatta Hadfield fleece is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and durable mid-layer for outdoor activities like hiking and country walks.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Hadfield fleece?
The Hadfield fleece is designed as a soft, warming, and lightweight mid-layer for outdoor activities, providing comfort and insulation without bulk.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, it offers good insulation. For very cold or harsh conditions, it is best used in conjunction with a waterproof and windproof outer shell and an appropriate base layer.
How should I wash the fleece?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
What are the benefits of the zipped pockets?
The two zipped pockets provide secure storage for essential items like keys, a phone, or energy bars, keeping them safe and accessible during outdoor activities.
Does the fleece have a hood?
The product description does not mention a hood; it is typically a zip-up jacket style.
What material is the fleece made from?
It is made from hardwearing polyester microfleece.
Can this fleece be worn by women?
This specific model is listed as men's apparel. While sizing might overlap, it is designed with a men's fit in mind.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected
Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce insulation. Check that the cuffs and hem are sealing properly. Consider adding a more insulating base layer beneath it.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Pilling or matting of the microfleece
This can occur with excessive friction or washing. Wash inside out on a gentle cycle, avoid high heat drying, and minimize contact with abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Regatta Hadfield fleece requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is designed as a standalone piece or as a mid-layer within a layering system. For care, it is recommended to machine wash the fleece according to the care label instructions, typically on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's insulating properties. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to maintain the integrity of the material and stretch binding. Ensure zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
