FAQs

What is the main purpose of this fleece?

The Regatta Hadfield fleece is designed as a mid-layer to provide warmth and comfort during outdoor activities, suitable for hiking and general wear in cooler conditions.

What material is the fleece made from?

It is made from 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester microfleece, with brushed sides and one anti-pilling side.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?

It can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. However, for protection against wind and rain, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a waterproof or windproof jacket.

How do I wash and care for the fleece?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

Does the fleece have pockets?

Yes, it features two zipped lower pockets for secure storage of small items.

What does 'anti-pilling' mean?

The anti-pilling treatment helps to prevent small balls of fiber (pills) from forming on the fabric surface, maintaining a smoother appearance and feel over time.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

As a mid-layer, it offers significant warmth. For very cold weather, you would need to layer it over a good base layer and under an insulated or windproof outer jacket.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the fleece is clean; fabric softeners or dirt can reduce insulation. Check that it is layered correctly over a base layer and not exposed directly to wind.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

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.

Pilling has started to appear.

While the fleece has an anti-pilling side, excessive friction or washing with abrasive items can still cause pilling. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove any pills. Adhere to the recommended washing and drying instructions to minimize future pilling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides good warmth for its weight, ideal for layering.
  • Constructed with a blend of polyester and recycled polyester for comfort and sustainability.
  • Features secure zipped pockets for convenient storage of small items.
  • Stretch binding ensures a comfortable and draft-free fit.
  • Soft feel due to brushed sides and an anti-pilling finish for durability.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient as an outer layer in harsh weather conditions (rain, strong wind, extreme cold).
  • Primarily a mid-layer, requiring additional outer protection in adverse weather.
  • Limited breathability compared to specialized technical hiking tops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Regatta Hadfield fleece requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. It is designed to be compatible with other layers of outdoor clothing, functioning effectively as a mid-layer beneath waterproof or windproof jackets and over base layers.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's insulating properties and affect the anti-pilling treatment.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The material does not typically require ironing if dried correctly.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
