Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hadfield Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and functional mid-layer for outdoor activities like hiking. Its primary benefit is providing soft, warming insulation without bulk, keeping you comfortable on the trails. A potential caveat is that it functions best as a mid-layer and may not be sufficient as an outer layer in harsh weather conditions. Key features include lightweight microfleece construction, two zipped pockets for secure storage, and stretch binding for a snug fit.

FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter conditions?

The Hadfield Fleece is designed as a mid-layer, providing good insulation. For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to wear it under a fully insulated and waterproof outer jacket.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Regatta for accurate measurements. The fleece is designed for a comfortable fit as a mid-layer, so consider what you will wear underneath.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?

While it can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions, it is not waterproof or windproof. For protection against the elements, it is best used as a mid-layer under a suitable shell.

What is the main advantage of the microfleece material?

Microfleece is chosen for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, meaning it provides significant warmth without adding bulk or weight, making it comfortable for active wear.

How durable is the Regatta Hadfield Fleece?

The fleece is constructed from durable microfleece material designed for regular outdoor use. However, like most fleece, it can be susceptible to snagging on sharp objects.

What are the care instructions for maintaining the fleece's performance?

Machine wash at 40°C with liquid detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

Ensure you are using liquid detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating ability. Wash at the recommended temperature.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Pilling appears on the fabric surface.

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. Reduce abrasion by washing inside out and avoiding harsh tumbling in the dryer. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove pills.

Pros and Cons

  • Secure zipped pockets are practical for outdoor use.
  • Snug fit from stretch binding prevents heat loss.
  • Suitable for a variety of outdoor pursuits.
  • Easy to pack and carry due to its lightweight nature.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient as a standalone outer layer in very cold or wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The Hadfield Fleece is designed as a mid-layer, making it compatible with various outer shells, including waterproof jackets, windbreakers, and gilets. It functions best when paired with breathable outer layers to maximize moisture management.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with similar colors. Use a small amount of liquid detergent.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the fleece fibers.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
  • Bleaching: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they can affect the fabric's performance and appearance.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
