Regatta Great Outdoors Thompson Half Zip Fleece Top - Red - L

The primary purpose is to serve as a comfortable, lightweight layer for warmth, suitable for everyday wear or as part of a multi-layer clothing system.

It's designed for moderate temperatures or as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it would need to be combined with additional insulating layers and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.

The anti-pill finish is on one side. To maintain it, wash according to care instructions and avoid excessive rubbing against abrasive surfaces. The other side may show signs of pilling over time with normal wear.

The fleece material is not waterproof. It can offer some protection against light drizzle, but for significant rain, an outer waterproof layer is recommended.

GSM stands for grams per square meter, which is a measure of fabric density. 170gsm indicates a relatively lightweight fabric, suitable for a comfortable, non-bulky layer.

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure yourself according to the guidelines provided. The product description mentions a 'Regular' fit type.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not overloading the washing machine. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Hang drying or low tumble dry can help restore softness.

Gently try to wiggle the zipper. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a bit of wax can help lubricate the zipper track.

This is normal wear on the untreated side. To minimize pilling on the untreated side, avoid excessive friction with rough surfaces and follow the recommended washing and drying instructions.
