Full details
The Regatta Hadfield Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and versatile mid-layer for outdoor activities or casual wear. Its primary benefit is providing reliable warmth without excessive bulk, making it suitable for layering. A minor consideration is that its sizing runs large, so ordering a size down may be advisable for a snugger fit.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the Hadfield Fleece?
The fleece is made from 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, weighing 210 g/m².
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Hadfield Fleece provides good warmth as a mid-layer. For very cold or harsh conditions, it is best paired with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or line dry.
Does the fleece have a hood?
No, this model features a collar. It does not have an integrated hood.
What is the benefit of the anti-pilling side?
The anti-pilling treatment on the outer side helps to prevent the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the fabric surface, maintaining a neater appearance over time.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the fleece features two lower pockets that are secured with zippers, providing safe storage for your belongings.
Can I wear this as an outer jacket in light rain?
While the polyester material offers some minor resistance, this fleece is not waterproof. It is best suited as a mid-layer or for dry conditions. For rain, a waterproof outer jacket is recommended.
What does 'STRETCH attachment' refer to?
It refers to the elasticated trim on the collar, cuffs, and hem. This provides a snugger fit, helps to keep out drafts, and allows for more comfortable movement.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels too loose or baggy.
Consider ordering one size down in the future. The stretch trim on the hem and cuffs can offer some adjustment, but a smaller size might provide a better fit if it's consistently too large.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can help smooth the action. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Fleece loses warmth after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as this can coat the fibers and reduce their insulating ability. Ensure the fleece is properly dried according to care instructions.
