FAQs
What is Symmetry Fleece?
Symmetry Fleece is Regatta's own fabric technology that features one side brushed for a super soft feel and the other side treated to be anti-pilling for enhanced durability and longevity.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Hot Shot II is a versatile fleece that provides good insulation. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer combined with a thermal base layer and a waterproof outer jacket.
How do I care for the fleece to maintain its anti-pilling properties?
Wash at 40°C with mild detergent, avoid bleach, and do not iron. Air drying or a low tumble dry setting is best. Washing inside out can also help preserve the fabric's surface.
Can this fleece be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the 'Unisex' designation means it is designed to be suitable for any child, regardless of gender.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean?
Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small fuzz balls or 'pills' on the surface, keeping the garment looking newer for longer.
Does the half-zip collar offer good protection against wind?
The elasticated collar, cuffs, and hem help to seal in warmth. However, the half-zip allows for ventilation and may let in more drafts than a full-zip fleece in very windy conditions.
What is the material composition?
The fleece is made from 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a fabric weight of 170 g/m².
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect the anti-pill finish. Air drying or low tumble dry is recommended.
Fleece is not providing enough warmth
The Hot Shot II is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, consider layering it over a base layer and under a waterproof outer shell. Ensure the half-zip is fully closed.
Pilling is starting to appear
While designed to be anti-pilling, excessive abrasion can still cause minor pilling. Ensure the garment is washed inside out and avoid washing with rough items like denim.
