FAQs

Is the Regatta Roswind fleece fully waterproof?

No, it is water-repellent. It is designed to shed light rain and moisture but will eventually soak through in heavy or persistent rain.

Can I wear this while hiking?

Yes, it is excellent for hiking in cool, dry, or lightly misty weather due to its breathable nature and freedom of movement.

What is Hydropel technology?

Hydropel is a finish applied to the outer fabric that makes water bead up and roll off, protecting you from light rain.

Does this fleece have a hood?

No, this specific model is a non-hooded fleece jacket.

How should I choose the right size?

The garment is sized for adult women. Refer to standard sizing charts, keeping in mind that it is designed to be worn as a standard or mid-layer fit.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the fabric surface.

The water-repellent treatment has likely worn off. Clean the garment and apply a spray-on DWR treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Zipper feels stiff or sticks.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your fleece lasts, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the synthetic fibers.
  3. Re-treating: Over time, if water no longer beads on the surface, use a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the coating.
  4. Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the shape of the garment.
