Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Alven Fleece sweater is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and comfortable mid-layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its blend of warmth, stretch, and freedom of movement, thanks to its woven fleece and Extol STRETCH panels. A potential caveat is that the 'brushed check lining' might offer less breathability than fully synthetic alternatives in very high-exertion scenarios. Key features include a brushed check lining, integrated hood, zippered pockets, and stretch finishes for a secure fit.

FAQs
What type of activities is this fleece best suited for?
This fleece is best suited for moderate outdoor activities like hiking, walking, and camping, where warmth and freedom of movement are important. It also works well as a casual everyday layer.
Is the hood adjustable?
The fleece features STRETCH attachments on the hood opening, which help it to stay in place and provide a snug fit, but it is not explicitly stated as having adjustable drawcords.
Can this be worn as a waterproof layer?
No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed as a warm mid-layer and should be worn under a waterproof and windproof outer shell in wet or windy conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart for accurate measurements. Pay attention to chest, waist, and sleeve length dimensions.
What does 'Extol STRETCH' mean?
Extol STRETCH refers to panels made from a blend of polyester and elastane that provide significant stretch and flexibility, enhancing comfort and mobility.
How does the brushed check lining contribute to the garment?
The brushed check lining adds an extra layer of soft insulation, increasing warmth and comfort against the skin.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, it provides good warmth. For very cold weather, it should be layered with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper pull back and forth. Rubbing a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth can help lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Ensure you are using the correct detergent (mild, liquid). Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the loft and insulating properties of fleece. Air dry completely.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece, especially after initial wears and washes. It can be managed by washing the garment inside out and using a fabric shaver if it becomes excessive.
