Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Malana women's hiking fleece is designed for adult females seeking comfortable and unrestrictive activewear for walks, hikes, or daily wear. Its key benefit is the freedom of movement provided by Reach Technology, allowing for easy arm lift. A potential caveat is that it's primarily a layering piece, best suited for moderate conditions or as a base layer in colder weather.

FAQs
What is Reach Technology?
Reach Technology refers to the design feature of underarm gussets that allow for a greater range of motion and unrestricted arm lift, making it comfortable for active movement.
Is this fleece warm enough for winter?
The Malana fleece is a mid-weight layering piece. For very cold winter conditions, it is best used as a layer over a thermal base layer and under a more insulated or waterproof outer jacket.
What is the material composition?
The fleece is made from 96% polyester and 4% elastane active stretch fabric with a marl finish and a terry backing.
How do I wash and care for the fleece?
Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, iron on low, and do not dry clean. Adhering to these instructions will help maintain the fabric's quality.
Does it have internal pockets?
No, this model features two zipped lower pockets on the exterior for secure storage.
Can this fleece be worn by men?
This fleece is specifically designed for women with a tailored fit. It is not recommended for men.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The design emphasizes movement, so a proper fit is key. Check that underarm gussets are not caught on other clothing layers.
Pilling or wear after washing.
Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully. Wash at a lower temperature, avoid harsh detergents, and do not overload the washing machine. Tumble drying on low heat can help maintain softness.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently work the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.
