Full details

Furthermore, this garment is made from recycled plastic bottles, making it an eco-friendly choice.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Thompson Fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The fleece is designed as a midlayer, providing good insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it under a warmer outer jacket for full protection.
How is the sizing for the Regatta Thompson Fleece?
The fleece features a regular fit designed for comfortable layering. Refer to the brand's specific size chart for detailed measurements to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear this fleece as a standalone jacket?
Yes, the Regatta Thompson Fleece can be worn as a standalone jacket in mild or cool weather conditions. For colder or wet conditions, layering is recommended.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
'Anti-pill' means the fabric has been treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, maintaining a smoother appearance over time.
How eco-friendly is this fleece?
This fleece is made from recycled plastic bottles, contributing to a reduction in waste and a more sustainable approach to apparel manufacturing.
What is the benefit of the zip neck?
The zip neck allows for adjustable ventilation. You can zip it up for warmth or zip it down to allow for airflow and cooling when you become too warm during activity.
How should I wash the fleece to preserve its properties?
Machine wash at a low temperature (30-40°C) on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected
Ensure the fleece is properly layered and that the zip neck is adjusted for optimal warmth. Check that the outer layer is adequately protecting against wind and moisture. Washing with a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softener can help maintain its insulating properties.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) applied to the zipper teeth can help lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fleece shows signs of pilling
While designed with an anti-pill finish, some minor pilling can occur with heavy use. Washing inside out on a gentle cycle and air drying can help minimize this. Avoid abrasive materials rubbing against the fleece.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your fleece:
- Machine Wash: Wash at a low temperature, typically 30°C or 40°C, on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's wicking and insulating properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the material.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The material does not require it and excessive heat can cause damage.
- Pilling: The anti-pill finish helps minimize pilling, but occasional minor pilling can occur. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh abrasion will help keep it smooth.
