Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Thompson Lightweight Half Zip Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and comfortable layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its dual-sided fleece construction, offering durability and warmth without bulk. A potential caveat is its primary function as a mid-layer, meaning it may not provide sufficient insulation as a standalone piece in very cold conditions. This fleece is made from 100% polyester SYMMETRY FLEECE, featuring an anti-pill side for longevity and a brushed side for a soft feel. It includes a convenient zip neck for adjustable ventilation and is suitable for activities like trekking or dog walking.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece?

The Regatta Thompson Lightweight Half Zip Fleece is primarily designed as a versatile mid-layer for outdoor activities, offering warmth and comfort. It can also be used as an outer layer in milder conditions.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

An anti-pill finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, which can occur with friction during wear and washing. This helps the fleece maintain a smoother appearance over time.

How warm is this fleece?

This is a lightweight fleece (170 gsm) designed for comfort and as a mid-layer. Its warmth will depend on what you wear over or under it. It's suitable for cool to moderate temperatures.

Can I wear this in the rain?

The fleece itself is not waterproof. It is water-resistant to a degree, but for protection against significant rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.

What is the fabric composition?

The fleece is made from 100% polyester SYMMETRY FLEECE (170 gsm), with a composition of 80% Polyester and 20% Reclaimed Polyester.

How should I wash and care for the fleece?

Machine wash at 30°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, do not iron, and do not dry clean. It's recommended to wash dark colours separately.

Does it have pockets?

This specific model (half zip) typically does not feature pockets, focusing on a streamlined design for layering.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can affect the fleece's texture. Tumble dry on a low setting as per care instructions.

Pilling or bobbling on the fabric

While designed with an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can sometimes cause minor pilling. Ensure the garment is washed inside out and avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim.

Zip is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to ease the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a silicone-based lubricant can help.
