Full details
This Regatta Montes women's hiking fleece is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight, breathable mid-layer for cool weather outdoor activities or casual wear. Its key benefit is providing cozy warmth without bulk, making it ideal for layering.

FAQs
What is the primary use for this fleece?
The Regatta Montes fleece is primarily designed as a soft, breathable mid-layer for hiking and outdoor activities in cool weather, or as a cozy casual wear item.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Montes fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability and should be paired with a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the product's size chart. The available sizes correspond to UK women's dress sizes. Measure your chest, waist, and hip for the best fit.
Can this fleece be worn on its own in cold weather?
It can be worn on its own in mild cool weather. For colder temperatures, it functions best when layered over a base layer and/or under a windproof or waterproof jacket.
What is microfleece?
Microfleece is a type of synthetic fleece fabric that is very soft, lightweight, and provides insulation without being bulky. It's known for its warmth and breathability.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a low heat setting for tumble drying. Avoid using fabric softener, which can affect the fleece's texture.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the issue persists, ensure the zipper track is clean and try a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax on the teeth.
Fleece is not providing enough warmth.
This fleece is designed as a layering piece. For colder conditions, wear it over a thermal base layer and/or under a warmer outer jacket. Ensure the half-zip is closed fully.
