Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Montes women's hiking fleece is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight and breathable mid-layer for cool outdoor activities and everyday wear. Its key benefit is providing cozy warmth without bulk, making it easy to pack. A potential caveat is that as a mid-layer, it requires an outer shell for full weather protection. This fleece is crafted from 140gsm 100% polyester mini stripe microfleece, featuring a quarter-zip neck for ventilation, raglan sleeves for comfort under backpacks, and a stand collar for neck warmth. It compresses easily for storage in daypacks, making it a practical choice for hiking, running, or casual outings when temperatures drop.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece?

The Regatta Montes fleece is designed as a lightweight and breathable mid-layer for outdoor activities, providing warmth without bulk and offering easy ventilation.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the fleece itself is not waterproof. It is designed to be worn as a mid-layer and requires a waterproof or water-resistant outer shell for protection against rain and wind.

How should I wash the fleece?

Machine wash at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not iron.

Can I wear this as my only layer in winter?

While it provides warmth, it is intended as a mid-layer. For very cold winter conditions, you would need to layer it over a warm base layer and wear an insulated or windproof outer jacket.

What does 'microfleece' mean?

Microfleece is a very fine, soft type of polyester fleece fabric that is lightweight, warm, and breathable. The 'mini stripe' refers to the texture or pattern of the weave.

How do the raglan sleeves benefit the wearer?

Raglan sleeves have seams that run diagonally from the underarm to the neckline. This construction eliminates the shoulder seam, providing a smoother fit and reducing potential chafing when worn with backpacks or rucksacks.

What is the GSM of the fleece?

The fleece is 140gsm (grams per square meter), which indicates it is lightweight.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the fit, particularly around the shoulders and arms, ensuring it layers comfortably over your base layer without feeling constricting.

Fleece is not providing enough warmth.

This is a mid-layer designed for moderate temperatures. For colder conditions, layer it over a warmer base layer or wear a more insulated outer jacket.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil applied to the zipper teeth can help lubricate it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required for this fleece. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This fleece is designed as a mid-layer and is compatible with various outer shells for protection against wind and rain. The raglan sleeve design ensures it fits comfortably under most jackets and backpacks without causing chafing or restricting movement.

  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
