Full details

Its key benefit is providing reliable warmth with adjustable ventilation via a half-zip, making it a versatile piece. A potential caveat is its lightweight nature, which might not be sufficient for extreme cold without additional layers. This top features a high-neck, long sleeves, and is constructed from 100% Polyester Symmetry Fleece, known for its soft touch and anti-pill finish.

FAQs

What type of fleece is used in this top?

The top is made from 100% Polyester Symmetry Fleece, which is known for being lightweight, soft to the touch, and featuring an anti-pill finish for durability.

How warm is this fleece? Is it suitable for winter?

This is a lightweight fleece (170gsm) designed for warmth in moderate conditions or as a mid-layer. For very cold winter weather, it would likely require additional insulating layers underneath or a heavier outer shell.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

An 'anti-pill' finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small fabric balls (pills) on the surface, helping to maintain the garment's smooth appearance and feel over time, even with regular wear and washing.

Can I adjust the ventilation?

Yes, the top features a half-zip neckline which allows you to open it up for increased ventilation when you get warm, or zip it up for more warmth and protection.

How do I wash and care for this fleece top?

It is recommended to machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean. Wash dark colours separately and with similar colours.

What sizes are available?

This specific product is listed as XL (44 inch chest measurement). However, the Regatta Thompson Half Zip Fleece Top is available in a range of sizes, typically from S up to 5XL, depending on the specific colour and retailer.

Is this fleece suitable for men and women?

This particular listing is for the 'Mens' version, designed with a male fit. Regatta often offers similar fleece styles in their women's range.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using the recommended washing temperature and avoid harsh detergents. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.

Pilling is appearing on the fabric

While the fabric has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or harsh washing can still cause pilling. Ensure you follow the care instructions, wash inside out if possible, and avoid washing with abrasive materials.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to free the fabric. Lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax can help. Ensure the garment is not stretched taut around the zipper area when trying to move it.
