Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Micro Zip Neck Fleece is a versatile layering essential designed for men who prioritize thermal efficiency without the bulk. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, or daily commuters, this lightweight 170gsm microfleece offers excellent heat retention and moisture-wicking capabilities, making it a reliable mid-layer. While it excels in breathability and quick-drying performance, it is primarily designed as a base or mid-layer, meaning it does not provide windproof or waterproof protection on its own.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, this is a lightweight insulating layer and does not feature a windproof membrane. It is best paired with a windbreaker in exposed conditions.
Does it fit true to size?
Yes, it is designed with a regular fit to accommodate standard sizing, allowing for comfortable movement when layering.
Can I wear this as a primary outer layer?
It is suitable for mild, dry weather as a top layer, but it lacks the necessary protection for rain or heavy winds.
How should I wash it to maintain its wicking ability?
Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric conditioners, which can coat the fibers and interfere with the moisture-wicking process.
What is the benefit of 170gsm weight?
170gsm indicates a lightweight fleece that provides warmth without adding the heavy bulk of thicker 300gsm fleeces, making it ideal for high-activity use.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels damp or clammy
Ensure you are wearing a synthetic or merino base layer underneath, as cotton base layers absorb sweat and prevent the fleece from wicking moisture effectively.
Fabric looks slightly pilled after heavy use
Pilling is a natural characteristic of synthetic fleece; use a fabric shaver or gentle pilling comb to restore the surface texture.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent moisture-wicking properties keep you dry

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fleece is designed for a regular fit, accommodating standard sizing for adult men. For best results, layer this garment over a moisture-wicking base layer and under a protective outer shell, such as a rain jacket or windbreaker.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the wicking performance of the fleece fibers.
- Hang dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric's loft; if tumble drying, use the lowest heat setting.
- Do not iron or bleach, as this can damage the microfleece structure.
