FAQs
What is the primary material of the Hadfield Fleece?
The Hadfield Fleece is primarily made from a blend of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a weight of 210 g/m².
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Hadfield Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed as a mid-layer for warmth and is best paired with a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.
How should I wash my Hadfield Fleece?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Does the fleece have many pockets?
Yes, it features two lower pockets that are secured with zippers, providing safe storage for your belongings.
Who is this fleece best suited for?
It is designed for adult males and is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, hikers, and anyone looking for a comfortable and warm mid-layer for cooler weather activities.
Can I wear this fleece in very cold weather on its own?
While it provides good warmth for its weight, in very cold or harsh conditions, it is recommended to layer the fleece under a more substantial insulating jacket or a waterproof/windproof outer shell for optimal protection.
What does 'stretch binding' mean in the description?
Stretch binding refers to elasticated or flexible material used at the edges of the collar, cuffs, and hem. This helps to create a snug fit, preventing wind from entering and keeping heat in.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consult the sizing chart and consider layering needs. The stretch binding on cuffs and hem may offer some flexibility, but proper fit is key.
Pilling on the fabric surface
While one side is treated to resist pilling, excessive friction can still cause it. Follow care instructions, wash inside out, and avoid abrasive contact. Air drying can also help minimize pilling.
Reduced warmth over time
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can coat the fibers and reduce insulation. Ensure the fleece is clean; dirt and oils can also impact warmth.
Zippers are difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) can sometimes help lubricate the teeth.
