Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Hadfield men's fleece is designed for adult males seeking a durable and warm mid-layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing reliable warmth and comfort without bulk, making it ideal for hiking and country walks. A potential caveat is its specific design as a mid-layer, meaning it may require additional outerwear in very cold or wet conditions. The fleece is constructed from hardwearing polyester microfleece, features stretch binding at the cuffs and hem, and includes two zipped pockets for secure storage.

FAQs
What type of outdoor activity is this fleece best suited for?
The Hadfield fleece is ideal as a mid-layer for hiking, camping, countryside walks, and general outdoor activities where reliable warmth without bulk is needed.
Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in wet weather?
While it offers some wind resistance, it is not waterproof. For wet conditions, it should be worn with a waterproof outer jacket.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing guide for accurate measurements. The provided information indicates this specific item is a Men's size S.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, polyester microfleece generally offers good breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape, which is important during physical activity.
What are the washing instructions to maintain the fleece's quality?
Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not bleach or iron.
Does it come in other colors or sizes?
The product information shows this specific item is Red - S. Other variants like Orange in M and XL are available, but availability may vary.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Avoid using fabric softener during washing. If you have used it, try a rinse cycle with white vinegar to help remove residue.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface
This is a natural occurrence with microfleece over time. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive abrasion can minimize this. Avoid storing heavy items in pockets for prolonged periods.
