Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Alven Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and flexible mid-layer for outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is the combination of warmth from the brushed fleece and freedom of movement provided by stretch panels. A potential caveat is that while offering good stretch, the primary material is polyester fleece, which may not be as breathable as some technical fabrics for high-intensity activities. This fleece features a woven polyester/elastane blend with a brushed check lining, integrated hood, and multiple zippered pockets for secure storage. It's also made from recycled materials, aligning with sustainability efforts.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the Alven Fleece?
The main body is made from a woven fleece consisting of 90% polyester and 10% elastane, featuring a brushed check lining. The stretch panels are also 90% polyester and 10% elastane.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold or wet weather?
The fleece provides good insulation for cool to cold conditions. However, it is not waterproof. For wet weather, it is best worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell.
How do the stretch panels improve performance?
The Extol STRETCH panels and underarm gussets are designed to provide enhanced flexibility and freedom of movement, allowing for unrestricted motion during physical activities like hiking or climbing.
Can I wear this fleece for high-intensity sports?
While it offers good stretch, the polyester fleece may not be as breathable as specialized technical fabrics for very high-output activities. It is best suited for moderate-intensity activities or as a comfortable layer for casual wear outdoors.
Does the fleece have a removable hood?
No, the hood is integrated into the design of the fleece.
How many pockets does it have and are they zippered?
Yes, it features two zippered lower pockets and one zippered chest pocket for secure storage.
Are there options for different sizes and colors?
This specific listing is for the Green color in size L. Other sizes and potentially colors may be available as separate product variants.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently run a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth or use a small amount of wax to lubricate. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Fleece is pilling or showing signs of wear
This is normal for fleece over time. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh friction during washing and drying. Consider using a microplastic filter bag for washing.
Fit is too tight or too loose
Consult the sizing chart to ensure the correct size was selected. If between sizes, consider the intended use; a looser fit might be preferred for layering, while a snugger fit offers better insulation.
Material feels less warm after washing
Ensure the garment is fully dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Check care label instructions and follow them precisely.
