FAQs

What is the primary material of the Regatta Mellrey Fleece?

The fleece is crafted from 100% recycled polyester.

How warm is this fleece?

It features a substantial 500gsm weight, providing excellent warmth and insulation, making it suitable for cold conditions.

Is this fleece suitable for active use?

Yes, the knitted and stretch design, along with raglan sleeves, allows for a comfortable range of motion, making it suitable for activities like hiking.

How should I care for my fleece?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and ironing.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, it features two side zip pockets for secure storage.

What is the collar type?

Can I wear this in wet weather?

While the fleece offers warmth, it is not waterproof. It is best worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can affect fleece texture. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to ease the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the teeth can help lubricate it.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid abrasive contact with other items in the wash. Use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.

Item feels too tight/loose

Refer to the product's sizing chart before purchase. If the fit is not as expected, consider exchanging for a different size. Fleece can offer some stretch, but significant fit issues may require a size adjustment.
