Regatta Women's Sweethart Marl Half Zip Fleece - Dark Grey - Size: 8

The primary purpose is to provide a cosy, lightweight, and warm layer for outdoor activities and casual wear, offering comfort and versatility.

No, this fleece is designed for warmth and breathability. It is not waterproof or water-resistant and will absorb moisture if exposed to rain.

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta, considering your UK dress size. The description specifies this is a Size 8.

It is an excellent layering piece for cold weather when worn under a waterproof or insulated jacket. As a standalone outer layer, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions.

It is made from lightweight Symmetry fleece.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid fabric softeners and ironing.

Based on the description, specific pocket details are not mentioned. Standard half-zip fleeces often do not include pockets or may feature a single chest pocket.

Ensure you are layering it appropriately with a base layer. Check that the anti-pill finish is intact; over time, significant pilling can reduce insulation. Avoid washing with fabric softener which can impede breathability and warmth.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, some minor pilling can occur with heavy use or friction. Use a fabric shaver gently on affected areas to restore a smoother surface. Avoid washing with abrasive items.
