FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Thompson Fleece is made of polyester and is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and should be worn under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
Please check the specific label on your garment; while many polyester fleeces can be tumble dried on low heat, air drying is generally recommended to extend the fabric's life.
Is the fabric prone to bobbling?
The Thompson fleece features anti-pill technology specifically designed to prevent bobbling and keep the fabric smooth over time.
What is the best way to clean the fleece?
The garment is machine washable. Follow the instructions on the care label, typically using a cool wash with similar colors.
Is this fleece suitable for winter hiking?
It is an excellent mid-layer for winter hiking, but it should be combined with a moisture-wicking base layer and a windproof or waterproof outer shell depending on the conditions.
What does anti-pill mean?
Anti-pill refers to a treatment or fabric structure that prevents the small, fuzzy balls of fiber (pills) from forming on the surface of the fabric after friction or washing.
Troubleshooting
Fabric looks worn after washing
Ensure you are following the care label instructions and consider using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
Fleece feels damp after intense activity
Ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking; the fleece traps heat, so pairing it with a technical base layer improves moisture management.
