Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Women's Sweethart Lightweight Half-Zip Fleece is designed for adult women seeking a versatile and comfortable mid-layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing soft, hardwearing warmth with quick-drying and easy-care properties. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily as a mid-layer, meaning it may require additional insulation in very cold conditions. This fleece features durable Symmetry fleece material with a brushed inner for softness and an anti-pill finish for longevity, making it ideal for teaming with t-shirts in mild weather or layering up when temperatures drop.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this fleece?

The Regatta Women's Sweethart fleece is designed as a hardwearing, soft, and lightweight mid-layer for outdoor activities, providing warmth and comfort.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

An anti-pill finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls of fiber (pills) on the surface, helping the garment look newer for longer.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in winter?

While it provides warmth, it is primarily designed as a mid-layer. For very cold winter conditions, it would be best layered under a waterproof or insulated outer jacket for maximum protection.

How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.

Is this fleece suitable for sensitive skin?

The fleece features a brushed inner for a super soft feel, which generally makes it comfortable for most skin types. However, individual sensitivities can vary.

What material is the fleece made from?

The fleece is made from Symmetry fleece, consisting of 70% polyester and 30% polyester with an anti-pill finish. The fabric composition is 170 gsm.

Does it have a full zip or a half zip?

This model features a zip neck, often referred to as a half-zip, allowing for adjustable ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels rough or stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using the recommended washing temperature and avoid harsh detergents. Check that fabric softener was not used excessively, as this can sometimes affect the feel of fleece. Re-tumble drying on a low heat might help restore softness.

Pilling is starting to appear.

While designed with an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling. Ensure the garment is washed inside out and avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver if necessary.

Zip is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax along the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
