Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hadfield Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and warming mid-layer for outdoor activities like hiking. Its key benefit is providing lightweight warmth without bulk, suitable for transitional weather. A potential caveat is that while it offers a secure fit, it may not be sufficient as an outer layer in extreme cold. This fleece is constructed from a 210 g/m² microfleece blend (70% polyester/30% recycled polyester), featuring brushed sides for softness, an anti-pilling finish for durability, two zipped lower pockets for secure storage, and stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem for a snug fit.

FAQs
What is the primary use for the Hadfield Fleece?
The Hadfield Fleece is primarily designed as a versatile mid-layer for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and general casual wear, offering warmth without bulk.
How do I wash the fleece?
You can machine wash the fleece at 40°C (104°F). Avoid bleaching, and tumble dry on a low heat. Do not iron or dry clean.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Hadfield Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof or water-resistant outer shell.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean?
The anti-pilling finish means that the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, helping the fleece maintain a smoother appearance over time.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
It provides good warmth for its weight but is intended as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it should be combined with a suitable insulated outer layer.
What is the material composition?
The fleece is made from 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester microfleece, with a weight of 210 g/m².
Are there other colors or sizes available?
This guide focuses on the Green XL variant. Other sizes and potentially colors may be available from the brand.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing.
Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and avoid harsh detergents. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness. The anti-pilling finish should minimize this over time.
Zippers are stiff.
Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fleece is not as warm as expected.
Ensure the fleece is layered correctly over a thermal base layer. Check that the collar, cuffs, and hem seals are snug. For colder conditions, consider adding a windproof or insulated outer layer.
