FAQs
What is the main material of the Regatta Alven fleece?
The main material is a woven fleece made from 90% polyester and 10% elastane, weighing 200 g/m². It also features Extol stretch panels made from the same blend but weighing 235 g/m².
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It provides good warmth, but for very cold conditions, it's recommended to use it as a mid-layer over a thermal base layer and under a protective outer shell.
How do I wash the fleece?

Does the fleece have a hood?
Yes, the Regatta Alven fleece features an integrated hood.
What are the 'Extol stretch panels' and 'Reach technology'?
Extol stretch panels are made of a more flexible material to allow for greater movement, while Reach technology underarm gussets are specifically designed for freedom of movement when lifting your arms.
Can this fleece be worn in the rain?
The fleece itself is not waterproof. For protection against rain, you will need to wear a waterproof outer jacket over it.

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the stretch panels and gussets are not obstructed. If the issue persists, consider a larger size or a different model.
