FAQs
What is the primary use for this fleece?
The Sweethart fleece is primarily designed as a versatile layering piece for outdoor activities like walking and hiking, or for casual everyday wear in cooler conditions.
How does the anti-pilling feature work?
The anti-pilling finish is applied during manufacturing to the fibers on the outer side of the fleece. This helps to prevent the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the fabric surface, keeping it looking newer for longer.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for insulation and breathability. For protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.
What is the fabric made from?
The fleece is made from 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, weighing 170 g/m².
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, high heat tumble drying, and dry cleaning. Do not iron on high heat. It's best to wash it separately from abrasive items.
Does the fleece have pockets?
The provided description does not mention pockets. It features a zip collar for adjustability.
What does 'SYMMETRY fleece' refer to?
SYMMETRY is Regatta's term for their specific type of fleece fabric, emphasizing its balance of warmth, weight, and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Fleece losing its softness or developing pills
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding washing temperature and avoiding abrasive fabrics. Consider using a fabric conditioner specifically designed for fleece.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.
Fleece feels less warm than expected
Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce its insulating properties. For colder weather, layer with additional thermal base layers or a more substantial outer jacket.
