Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Finchdale Marl Full Zip Hooded Midlayer is designed for active adults who need a versatile, insulating garment for climbing, hiking, or demanding workdays. Its primary benefit is the combination of warm marl fleece with specialized stretch panels that allow for complete freedom of movement, though users should note it is intended as a midlayer rather than a heavy-duty waterproof outer shell.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Finchdale is designed as an insulating midlayer and is not waterproof. It is best used as part of a layering system under a shell.
Does the hood provide good coverage?
Yes, the stretch binding around the hood opening helps keep it snug against the head to retain warmth.
Can I use this for high-intensity climbing?
Absolutely. The underarm gussets are specifically designed to allow for an unrestricted range of motion during climbing and reaching.
How do I wash this fleece?
Machine wash on a cool setting with similar colors. Avoid bleaching, tumble drying, and ironing.
Is the material stretchy?
The garment features specific ripstop stretch panels to enhance mobility in critical areas while maintaining the structure of the fleece.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging on rough surfaces
While the ripstop panels are durable, avoid sharp objects; if a thread pulls, gently trim it rather than pulling.
Zipper sticking
Ensure no fleece fibers are caught in the teeth and run a graphite pencil along the zipper track to lubricate it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Finchdale midlayer, always consult the internal care label. Generally, this polyester garment should be machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the performance of the technical fabrics. Hang dry to maintain the integrity of the stretch panels and binding. For compatibility, this midlayer fits well under standard-sized technical shells, but because of its active cut, you may want to verify your size preference if you intend to wear very thick layers underneath.
