Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Sweetheart Fleece is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and versatile midlayer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing warmth and softness with an anti-pill finish for lasting quality. A potential caveat is that it's a lighter-weight fleece, best suited for mild weather or as a layering piece rather than extreme cold. Key features include its Symmetry fleece construction, a 1/4 zip neck for adjustable ventilation, and a design partially made from recycled plastic bottles.

FAQs

What is the primary use of the Sweetheart Fleece?

The Sweetheart Fleece is designed as a versatile midlayer for outdoor activities, providing warmth and comfort in mild to cool weather, or as an insulating layer under a jacket in colder conditions.

How does the 'anti-pill' feature work?

The anti-pill finish is applied to the fabric during manufacturing to help prevent the formation of small fiber balls (pills) on the surface, maintaining a smoother look and feel over time.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter weather?

It is a lighter-weight fleece, making it ideal for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece. For extreme cold, it would need to be combined with a warmer insulating layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.

What does 'Symmetry fleece' mean?

Symmetry is Regatta's own fleece technology, known for being quick-drying, easy to care for, and comfortable, with an anti-pill finish.

Can I use fabric softener when washing this fleece?

It is generally recommended to avoid fabric softeners with fleece materials, as they can sometimes reduce the fabric's effectiveness and softness over time. Use a mild detergent instead.

How much of the fleece is made from recycled materials?

The fleece is made from 100% polyester Symmetry fleece, and it is partially made using recycled plastic bottles, contributing to sustainability.

What are the measurements for a UK size 12?

For a UK size 12, the approximate garment measurements are a chest of 92cm and a total length of 66cm. Sleeve length details may vary slightly but are typically provided in detailed product specifications.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the fleece's texture. Consider a low-heat tumble dry to restore softness.

Pilling is occurring despite 'anti-pill' feature

This can sometimes happen with heavy abrasion. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver. Ensure the garment is washed inside out to minimize friction.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. You can try running a graphite pencil or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft and comfortable fleece material.
  • Durable with an anti-pill finish for longevity.
  • Versatile as a midlayer or standalone piece.
  • Eco-friendly construction using recycled materials.
  • Easy to care for with machine washability.

Cons

  • Lighter weight may not be sufficient for very cold conditions on its own.
  • Sizing can vary, so checking measurements is advised.
  • The 1/4 zip may not offer as much warmth as a full-zip option.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing.

Compatibility: The fleece is designed as an outerwear piece for women and is suitable for layering with other apparel. It pairs well with base layers, t-shirts, and outer shells for adaptable warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (or as per the care label). Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry for best results and to preserve fabric integrity.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary. Avoid high heat.
  4. Pilling: While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, occasional small pills can be gently removed with a fabric shaver if they appear.
