Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Kids’ Hot Shot II Fleece is designed for active children who need a durable and comfortable layer for outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is providing lasting warmth and wearability, even during demanding activities. A potential caveat is that while soft, it is a standard fleece and may not offer the same level of waterproofing as other outerwear. This fleece is crafted from Regatta's Symmetry fleece, offering a super soft brushed inner for comfort and an anti-pill outer for enhanced durability. It features a half-zip design for easy ventilation and a comfortable fit, making it ideal for layering on cooler days.

FAQs
What is Symmetry Fleece?
Symmetry fleece is Regatta's own fabric technology. It features a brushed inner side for a soft feel and an anti-pill outer side for durability, offering a balance of comfort and hardwearing performance.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Kids’ Hot Shot II Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and comfort and should be worn with a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
What is the best way to wash this fleece to maintain its softness?
To maintain softness, wash the fleece at 40°C with similar colours using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, and it's best to air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Can this fleece be worn by boys and girls?
Yes, the Hot Shot II fleece is designed as a unisex garment, suitable for both boys and girls.
What age group is the size 7-8 years for?
The size 7-8 years is designed for children typically within that age range, offering a comfortable fit for active play.
How does the half-zip feature benefit my child?
The half-zip allows for easy ventilation when your child gets warm during activity, and it can be zipped up to provide extra warmth around the neck when needed. It also makes the fleece easier for children to put on and take off independently.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough or is pilling excessively.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Wash on a gentle cycle and air dry if possible. The 'anti-pill' treatment is designed to minimize this, but aggressive washing can still affect it.
Fleece is not providing enough warmth.
This fleece is a mid-layer. For colder conditions, ensure it is layered correctly over a warm base layer and potentially under a windproof or waterproof outer shell. Ensure the half-zip is adjusted appropriately for warmth.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to clear any obstructions. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper to help it slide more smoothly.
