FAQs
What material is the Regatta Elzie Fleece made from?
The fleece is made from 100% polyester, specifically a two-tone 230 g/m² fleece. It also incorporates recycled materials.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Elzie fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and insulation but does not offer protection from rain or heavy moisture.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Wash at 40°C, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid dry cleaning and iron on a low heat. It's best to wash with similar colors and close zippers before washing.
What is the purpose of the stretch binding?
The stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem ensures a snug fit, helping to keep out drafts and maintain warmth.
Can I wear this fleece in very cold weather?
While the Elzie fleece offers good warmth, it is best used as a mid-layer in very cold conditions, combined with a base layer and an outer shell for maximum protection.
Does it come in other colors?
Yes, the Regatta Elzie fleece is available in a range of colors including Beige, Brown, Pink, Blue, Green, and Grey, as shown in the product variants.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the two lower pockets are secured with zippers, providing safe storage for your essentials.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or catching
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Check care label and ensure correct washing and drying temperatures were used. Overheating in the dryer can damage fleece fibers. Air drying is often best for maintaining loft.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. Avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans. Use a fabric shaver carefully to remove pills, or gently brush the surface.
Elasticated binding feels loose
This can occur after prolonged use or improper washing. Ensure the garment is not overstretched during drying. For significant stretching, professional repair might be considered.
