FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece?
The Regatta Thompson Marl Fleece is designed to provide warmth and comfort as a lightweight mid-layer for outdoor activities in cool weather.
Is this fleece waterproof or water-resistant?
No, the fleece is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is intended for insulation and should be paired with a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, usually available online or on the product packaging, which provides measurements for chest, waist, and other relevant dimensions to ensure a proper fit.
Can this fleece be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, the soft brushed backing is designed for comfort, making it suitable to wear directly against the skin. However, for maximum comfort and moisture management, many prefer to wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath.
What type of activities is this fleece best suited for?
It is best suited for cool-weather outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, camping, and casual wear, where a balance of warmth, breathability, and light weight is desired.
How should I care for the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with like colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and high-heat ironing.
Does the zip neck allow for full chest opening?
Yes, the zip neck typically allows for the garment to be opened at the chest for ventilation, though the exact degree of opening may vary slightly by design.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels staticky
Static cling can occur with polyester. Try using a fabric softener during washing or a dryer sheet in the dryer on a low setting. Ensure the fleece is fully dry before storing.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of clear lip balm to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Pilling or "bobbling" on the fabric surface
Some pilling is normal with fleece over time, especially in high-friction areas. To minimize this, wash inside out and avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove pills.
Fleece loses its warmth over time
Ensure the fleece is cleaned according to care instructions. Excessive washing or high heat can degrade the insulating properties of the fibers. Avoid storing in compressed states for long periods.
