FAQs
What is the primary use case for the Regatta Alven Fleece?
The Regatta Alven Fleece is best suited as a versatile mid-layer for outdoor activities in cool to mild conditions, providing warmth and freedom of movement. It can also be used for casual everyday wear.
Is the fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Alven Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide insulation and should be worn under a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
How do I wash the fleece?
You can machine wash the fleece at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, do not iron, and tumble dry on a low heat setting.
What does 'Extol STRETCH' mean?
Extol STRETCH refers to the specially engineered panels made from a blend of polyester and elastane that provide enhanced flexibility and allow for a greater range of motion.
Are there pockets available for storage?
Yes, the fleece features two zippered lower pockets and one zippered chest pocket for secure storage of small items.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter weather?
As a mid-layer, it offers good warmth, but for very cold winter weather, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer and under a warm, insulated, and waterproof outer shell for adequate protection.
What sizes are available?
The Regatta Alven Fleece is available in various sizes, including S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL for men.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Fleece feels less warm than expected
Fleece loses some insulating properties if it is compacted or wet. Ensure the fleece is dry and fluffed up. For significantly colder conditions, consider adding a warmer base layer or a more robust outer shell.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece materials due to friction. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid excessive rubbing. Use a fabric shaver to remove existing pills if desired.
Stretch panels feel restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If the issue persists, the specific cut or your body type might not be ideal for the garment's stretch panel placement. Try a different size or model.
