Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Kids’ Hot Shot II Fleece is designed for active children seeking comfort and durability during outdoor adventures. Its key benefit lies in its soft, hardwearing Symmetry fleece material, which provides warmth without bulk. A potential consideration is that the half-zip design might allow more drafts than a full-zip alternative in very cold conditions. This fleece is a versatile layer for camping, hiking, or everyday wear.

FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Hot Shot II fleece provides good warmth for its weight and is excellent as a mid-layer. For very cold or extreme conditions, it is recommended to layer it under a more substantial insulated or waterproof jacket.
How do I know which size to choose?
Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta, which typically includes measurements for chest, waist, and height to help you select the best fit for your child. The product information specifies this item is size 5-6 Years.
Can this fleece be worn by boys and girls?
Yes, this is a unisex fleece designed for all children, regardless of gender.
What is the benefit of the 'anti-pill' side?
The anti-pill side means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, even after repeated washing and wear, keeping the fleece looking newer for longer.
How warm is the fleece compared to other materials?
Symmetry fleece offers a good balance of warmth and breathability. It's warmer than cotton but lighter than heavier wools, making it ideal for active use.
Can I machine wash the fleece?
Yes, the fleece is machine washable at 40°C (104°F). Always check the care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect the fleece's properties. Tumble dry on a low heat setting as recommended.
Pilling has started on the surface.
While the fleece is designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction or harsh washing can sometimes cause minor pilling. Try washing inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items like denim. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can often restore the surface.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstructions. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth can help it run more smoothly.
