Regatta Sweethart Lightweight Half-Zip Fleece - Beige - 26

Symmetry is a type of fleece fabric used by Regatta. It is designed to be quick-drying, easy to care for, and comfortable, featuring a brushed inner for softness and an anti-pill finish for durability.

The Sweethart fleece is primarily designed as a mid-layer. While it provides good warmth for its weight, it may not be sufficient as a standalone outer layer in very cold or harsh conditions. It is best layered under a waterproof or insulated jacket for extreme cold.

Refer to the sizing guide for Regatta women's apparel. This fleece has a regular fit, and the product information lists specific UK dress sizes available. It's recommended to check measurements against a garment you already own for accuracy.

This product is specifically designed as a women's fleece. While similar styles might exist for men, the sizing and cut are tailored for a female fit.

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, closing the zip before washing. Avoid bleach, do not iron, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not dry clean.

'Anti-pill' means the fabric has been treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, which can occur with friction during wear and washing. This helps the garment maintain a smoother appearance over time.

The GSM (grams per square meter) of the Symmetry fleece used in this garment is 170 gsm.

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

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or harsh washing can sometimes cause minor pilling. Ensure the zip is closed during washing and avoid washing with abrasive items. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can often remove it.

Ensure the zipper is clear of any fabric threads. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of lubricant, such as graphite from a pencil, can be applied to the zipper teeth.
