FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this is a midlayer fleece designed for warmth and moisture management, not as a replacement for a waterproof shell.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to use low heat if tumble drying, though air drying is preferred to prolong the life of the fabric.
Does it have any pockets?
The Regatta Thompson model features a clean, streamlined design and does not include pockets.
How should the fleece fit?
It is designed as a regular fit, providing enough room for a base layer underneath without being overly bulky.
What is the primary material?
The garment is made from high-quality polyester designed for durability and quick-drying performance.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
Yes, it is suitable for dry, mild days, but its lack of wind and water resistance makes it best suited for layering in more extreme weather.
Troubleshooting
Fabric looking worn or bobbly
While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, ensure you are washing it inside out to minimize surface abrasion during the cycle.
Feeling too cold in high winds
The fleece is breathable by design. Add a windproof shell jacket over the top to trap warmth and block incoming air.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fleece is a straightforward pull-over style garment. To ensure compatibility with your existing kit, treat it as a dedicated midlayer; it fits seamlessly under shell jackets, raincoats, or heavier parkas.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle.
- Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals that might degrade the anti-pill treatment.
- Hang dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting to preserve the soft brushed interior.
- Avoid ironing, as high heat can damage the synthetic polyester fibers.
