FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Thompson fleece?
The Regatta Thompson fleece is primarily designed as a versatile midlayer, offering warmth and comfort for outdoor activities like trekking or casual wear. It can also be used as an insulating layer under a jacket.
How do I wash the fleece?
Machine wash the fleece at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not iron.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide insulation and comfort, and should be worn under a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
Can I wear this as my only jacket in winter?
While it provides warmth, it is best suited as a midlayer. For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to wear it under a warmer, more protective outer jacket.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
'Anti-pill' means the fabric is treated or manufactured to resist the formation of small balls (pills) on the surface, ensuring the fleece maintains a smoother appearance over time and with washing.
What is the brushed side for?
The brushed side is the interior of the fleece, designed to be soft and cosy against the skin, providing enhanced comfort and insulation.
How do I adjust the temperature while wearing it?
The half-zip neck allows you to easily control ventilation. Simply pull the zip down to let in more air when you're getting warm, or zip it up for more warmth.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing
Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as this can cause stiffness. Wash with a mild detergent on a gentle cycle.
Pilling on the surface
While designed with anti-pill properties, excessive friction can still cause pilling. Ensure proper washing and avoid abrasive contact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the zipper up and down a few times. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny drop of wax to the zipper teeth.
