Regatta Thompson Lightweight Half Zip Fleece - Brown - XXL

The Regatta Thompson fleece is designed primarily as a versatile mid-layer for outdoor activities, providing warmth and comfort. It can also be worn as a standalone piece in milder conditions.

The material features an anti-pill finish on one side, specifically designed to prevent the formation of fabric pills and enhance durability, maintaining its appearance over time.

While it provides good warmth, it is intended as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it is best worn in conjunction with a warm base layer underneath and a protective outer shell (like a jacket) over the top.

The zip neck allows for easy ventilation. You can pull the zip down to allow more airflow and cool down, or zip it up to retain more heat.

Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) and do not bleach. It can be tumble dried on a low heat setting or line dried. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.

This specific model is designed for men ('Male' gender attribute). Regatta may offer similar styles designed for women.

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A 170 gsm weight indicates a relatively lightweight fleece, offering warmth without being excessively heavy, ideal for active use.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still an issue, consider if a different style or brand might better suit your build.

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or washing with abrasive items can still cause minor pilling. Check washing instructions and ensure no harsh detergents are used.

Gently try to move the zip. Sometimes lint or debris can obstruct it. A small amount of wax or a specialized zip lubricant can help if stiffness persists. Avoid forcing the zip.

Ensure the fleece is washed according to care instructions. Over time, the insulating properties of any fleece can diminish slightly with heavy wear and washing. Ensure it's clean, as dirt can trap air less effectively.
