FAQs
What is the main material of the Hadfield fleece?
The Hadfield fleece is made from 100% polyester microfleece.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It is designed as a mid-layer, offering good warmth. For very cold weather, it should be layered under a more substantial outer jacket.
Can I wear this fleece for high-intensity sports?
While it offers some breathability, it is primarily designed for moderate outdoor activities like walking and camping. For very high-intensity sports, you might prefer a more technical, moisture-wicking base layer.
How do I wash the Regatta Hadfield Fleece?
The fleece is machine washable. It's recommended to wash it on a gentle cycle with similar colors and air dry to maintain its quality.
Does it have adjustable features for a better fit?
It features stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem for a snug fit, but it does not have drawcords or other adjustable elements.
What are the pocket configurations?
The fleece has two lower pockets, both secured with zippers.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected
Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce its insulating properties. Check that the cuffs and hem are fitting snugly to prevent heat loss.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid abrasive contact with other garments in the wash. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove existing pills.
