FAQs
What is Symmetry Fleece?
Symmetry Fleece is a type of polyester fabric used by Regatta, known for being quick-drying, easy to care for, soft, and featuring an anti-pill finish for durability.
How warm is this fleece?
The fleece provides good warmth as a midlayer. For colder conditions, it is designed to be layered with other garments for increased insulation.
Can I wear this in the rain?
While the polyester material offers some resistance to light moisture, it is not waterproof. It is best worn under a waterproof or water-resistant outer layer if significant rain is expected.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
An anti-pill finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the garment look newer for longer.
Is this fleece suitable for very active sports?
It is suitable for moderately active pursuits like hiking or walking. For high-intensity sports where significant perspiration occurs, a more breathable or moisture-wicking base layer might be preferred.
What is the GSM of the fleece?
The fleece has a weight of 170 gsm (grams per square meter), indicating a relatively lightweight but warm fabric.
How should I wash this fleece?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and ironing. Do not dry clean.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce softness. Wash with mild detergent and consider air drying instead of high heat tumble drying.
Pilling starting to appear
While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can still cause pilling. Ensure you are washing it inside out and avoiding harsh rubbing during washing or drying.
Zip is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric around the zip is clear and try gently moving the zip up and down. A small amount of wax or graphite lubricant can help if the issue persists.
