Product Overview
The Regatta Junior Kids Brigade II is a versatile fleece designed specifically for the demands of the playground and the school environment. Built with 170 series microfleece, this garment is engineered to trap heat effectively while remaining lightweight enough for active play. It serves as an essential layer for children, providing reliable warmth without the restriction of bulkier outerwear.
Key Features
- The integrated chin guard prevents irritation from the zip, ensuring comfort throughout the day during active movement.
- Two lower fleece pockets provide a convenient space for warming hands or storing small essentials.
- The easycare fabric simplifies maintenance, which is a significant advantage for busy parents and school uniform management.
- Layer Lite Fabric Technology allows this fleece to be worn comfortably under a waterproof jacket or as a standalone piece depending on the weather conditions.
Design & Performance
This fleece is constructed from 100% polyester microfleece, known for its excellent wicking properties. This ensures that moisture is drawn away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry and fresh even during high-energy activities. The quick-drying nature of the fabric means it is ready for use shortly after washing, which is vital for daily school wear.
The lightweight design is purposeful; it provides the necessary thermal insulation by trapping air within the fibres, yet it does not hinder mobility. This balance makes it an ideal choice for children who require warmth but require a garment that moves with them.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Kids Brigade II fleece is well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing for high-quality branding for school clubs, sports teams, or organisations. Embroidery is particularly effective for logos and names on the chest area, offering a durable and professional appearance that withstands frequent washing and heavy use.
For larger, more vibrant designs, our printing techniques provide a sharp finish that stands out. Every customisation project is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience since our founding in 1976 to ensure your branding is executed with precision.
Use Cases

Practical Advice
When selecting a size, consider the intended use. If the fleece will be worn over thick school layers, you may wish to choose a size that allows for extra room. The sizing range from age 2 up to a 34-inch chest ensures a consistent look across different age groups in a school or club.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of the microfleece fibres, we recommend a standard machine wash. Following the manufacturer’s instructions helps preserve the easycare properties of the fabric, ensuring it remains soft and insulating over time.
It is important to avoid bleaching this garment, as harsh chemicals can break down the polyester fibres and cause premature wear. Similarly, do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean the fleece, as excessive heat can melt or distort the synthetic material, ruining the texture and fit.
Ensure all fasteners are closed before washing and drying to prevent snagging. Dark colours should be washed separately to avoid dye transfer. Finally, never store the fleece while damp, as this can lead to unpleasant odours and damage the fabric structure.
