FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Thompson Fleece?
The primary purpose is to serve as a warm and durable midlayer for outdoor activities, providing insulation without being overly bulky. It's suitable for trekking, walking, and layering under warmer jackets.
How do I clean the fleece?
Machine wash at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not bleach or iron.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
An 'anti-pill' fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' of fiber that can appear on the surface of textiles after wear and washing. This helps the fleece maintain a smoother appearance for longer.
Is this fleece suitable as an outer layer in winter?
While it provides good warmth, it is primarily designed as a midlayer. For very cold or wet winter conditions, it would be best worn under a waterproof or insulated outer jacket for optimal protection.
What is the GSM of the fleece fabric?
The fleece fabric used is 170 gsm (grams per square meter), which indicates a lightweight to midweight fleece.
What materials is the fleece made from?
The main fabric is 100% polyester anti-pill SYMMETRY FLEECE. The fabric composition is 80% Polyester and 20% Reclaimed Polyester.
Can I adjust the ventilation?
Yes, the fleece features a zip neck that can be easily opened or closed to regulate airflow and body temperature.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm over time
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing. Fabric softeners can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Wash with a mild detergent and avoid them in future washes.
Pilling developing on the surface
While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive abrasion can still cause minor pilling. Avoid washing with items that have rough surfaces or zippers. Gently brush any minor pills away.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check the zipper area for any fabric caught in the teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper remains stiff, a small application of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can help.

- Offers adjustable ventilation with the zip neck.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No setup is required.
Compatibility: The Regatta Thompson fleece is designed as a versatile midlayer, making it compatible with a wide range of outer shells, including waterproof jackets, windbreakers, and heavier insulated coats.

Care Instructions: To maintain the fleece's performance and appearance:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fleece fibers and reduce their effectiveness.

- Cleaning Tip: Wash with similar colours to prevent any potential colour transfer.
