Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Thompson Marl Lightweight Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and warm layer for everyday outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing lightweight warmth with a soft feel, making it ideal for cooler weather or as a mid-layer. A potential caveat is its lightweight nature, which might not be sufficient for extreme cold without additional layering.

FAQs

What kind of weather is this fleece best suited for?

This fleece is ideal for mild to cool weather, functioning well as a standalone layer or as a mid-layer under a jacket. It's best for temperatures where a light to moderate warmth is needed.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Thompson Marl fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability, and would need to be worn under a waterproof outer layer in rainy conditions.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the product's size chart for accurate measurements. The 'apparel_fit_type' is listed as 'Regular', suggesting a standard fit.

Can this fleece be worn by women?

While designed for men, women may be able to wear this fleece depending on desired fit and sizing. It is recommended to check the size chart and consider sizing down if a more fitted look is desired.

What is the main difference between this and a heavier fleece?

This is a 'lightweight' fleece, meaning it provides less insulation than heavier fleece garments. It's designed for versatility and ease of layering rather than maximum warmth in extreme cold.

How should I clean the fleece to maintain its softness?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, and avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the fleece's loft and softness over time.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect fleece texture. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore softness.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently pull the fabric away. You can also try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.

Pilling or bobbling on the surface

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid abrasive contact. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove existing pills.
