Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Montes Half-Zip Fleece is designed for adult women seeking a lightweight and breathable mid-layer for hiking and everyday wear. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, making it an ideal layering piece. A potential consideration is its primary function as a mid-layer, meaning it may require an outer shell in very cold or wet conditions. Key features include soft microfleece material, a stand collar for neck protection, and a design that compresses easily for portability.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece?
The Regatta Montes Half-Zip Fleece is designed as a lightweight, breathable mid-layer for warmth during outdoor activities and everyday wear. It's ideal for layering under a jacket.
How should I wash this fleece?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low heat.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is made from microfleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability, and should be worn with a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
Can this fleece be worn on its own?
Yes, it can be worn on its own in mild temperatures. However, its primary function is as a layering piece for added warmth.
What does '140gsm' mean?
GSM stands for grams per square meter, which is a measure of fabric weight. 140gsm indicates a lightweight fleece, suitable for layering without adding excessive bulk.
Does the fleece have pockets?
The provided product description does not mention pockets. This specific model features a half-zip fastening and a stand collar.
What makes the sleeve design 'raglan'?
Raglan sleeves have a diagonal seam that runs from the underarm to the collarbone, creating a seamless shoulder line. This design offers greater freedom of movement and reduces chafing, especially when wearing backpacks.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can affect fleece texture. Tumble dry on low heat as recommended.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax can sometimes help lubricate the teeth.
Fleece not providing enough warmth
This is a mid-layer. For colder conditions, consider wearing a warmer base layer underneath or a windproof/waterproof outer shell over the fleece.
