FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Symmetry fleece?
The Symmetry fleece offers a dual-sided benefit: one side is brushed for a super-soft feel against the skin, while the other is anti-pill, making it highly durable and resistant to bobbling, even with frequent use.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Hot Shot II fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and comfort as a mid-layer, but you will need a waterproof outer jacket for protection against rain.
How should I wash the fleece?
You can machine wash the fleece at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry.
Can this fleece be worn on its own in cold weather?
While it offers good warmth for its weight, it's best suited as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it should be worn in combination with a base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer layer.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
'Anti-pill' means the fabric is treated or constructed in a way that prevents small balls of fiber (pills) from forming on the surface, even after washing and wear. This helps the garment look newer for longer.
What age group is this specific fleece for?
This particular product listing is for the 3-4 years size range.
Is the fleece made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the fleece is made from a blend of polyester and recycled polyester, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels scratchy after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have not used fabric softener, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Consider a second rinse cycle. Air drying is often best for fleece.
Fleece has lost some of its warmth.
Fleece warmth can diminish if it becomes compacted or dirty. Ensure it is clean and dry. For significant loss of loft, it may be nearing the end of its effective lifespan.
Pilling has started to appear despite being anti-pill.
While the fleece is designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction from backpacks or rough play can eventually cause minor pilling. Use a fabric comb or shaver to gently remove any pills. Continue to follow care instructions.
Sizing seems incorrect.
Refer to the Regatta size guide for children's apparel. If the fit is still not right, consider exchanging for a larger size, as children's sizing can vary between brands and even styles.
