FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Thompson fleece is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a waterproof garment.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air dry the fleece to prevent shrinkage and maintain the fabric's soft texture.

What does 170gsm mean?

GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 170gsm weight indicates a lightweight fleece that provides warmth without being heavy or bulky.

Does it have pockets?

No, the design of the Thompson fleece focuses on a sleek, lightweight profile without integrated pockets.

Is the fit true to size?

Yes, it follows a standard Regular fit; if you prefer a looser fit for heavy layering, you may want to size up.

Is this suitable for summer?

It is best suited for cooler mornings or evenings, though its lightweight construction makes it a versatile layer throughout the year.

Troubleshooting

Fabric surface showing small fuzz balls

While the fabric is anti-pill, heavy friction can still cause minimal pilling; use a fabric shaver to gently remove surface fuzz.

Zipper feels stiff

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider using a dry graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant to ease movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design prevents overheating during activity
  • Soft-touch fabric enhances overall comfort
  • Anti-pill technology keeps the garment looking new longer
  • Easy to layer under waterproof shells or coats

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof
  • Provides limited thermal protection in extreme sub-zero temperatures
  • Lacks side pockets for storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fleece is a "ready-to-wear" item with no setup required. To maintain the integrity of the Symmetry fleece fabric, it is recommended to wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers. Hang drying is preferred to preserve the shape of the garment and ensure the anti-pill finish remains effective. The regular fit is compatible with standard sizing; however, if you plan to wear it over thick sweaters, consider if your standard size provides enough room for layering.
