FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Alven Fleece is not waterproof. It offers some water resistance due to its material but is best used as a warm layer or under a waterproof outer shell.
What is the main benefit of the Extol stretch panels?
The Extol stretch panels are designed to provide enhanced freedom of movement, allowing you to climb, lift, and scramble without restriction.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its properties?
Machine wash cold with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not iron.
Is this fleece suitable for winter sports?
While it provides warmth, it's generally best suited as a mid-layer for winter sports. For very cold conditions, additional insulation and a robust outer shell will be necessary.
What does 'Reach underarm gussets' mean?
Reach underarm gussets are designed to prevent the sleeves from riding up when you lift your arms, ensuring continuous coverage and comfort.
Can I wear this as my only layer in cool weather?
Yes, in mild to cool weather, it can be worn as an outer layer. For colder or windy conditions, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer and potentially under a windproof jacket.
What material is the fleece made from?
The Regatta Alven Fleece is made from soft woven fleece, combined with Extol stretch panels for enhanced mobility.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected.
Ensure you are layering appropriately. This fleece is a mid-layer and may require a base layer for insulation and a windproof/waterproof outer layer for protection against the elements.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Pilling is common with fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact with other items. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills.
Stitching coming undone.
Check the seams for any loose threads. Small snags can often be trimmed carefully. For larger issues, consult a professional tailor.
Reduced stretch or flexibility over time.
Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners during washing, as they can degrade the stretch fibers. Ensure the garment is not over-stretched or strained beyond its intended capacity.
