FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Thompson fleece is designed for warmth and breathability, not waterproof protection. We recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over it in rainy conditions.
Can I wear this as a winter jacket?
It is best used as a mid-layer. It provides great insulation, but it will not block wind or heavy rain on its own.
What does 170gsm mean?
GSM stands for grams per square meter, indicating the weight and density of the fabric. 170gsm is considered lightweight, providing warmth without being bulky.
How do I ensure the right size?
The Regatta Thompson is a standard fit. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath it, you may want to consider a larger size than your standard shirt size.
Is this suitable for machine washing?
Yes, it is machine washable. Please refer to the care label for specific temperature recommendations to ensure longevity.
Troubleshooting
Fabric beginning to show small pills or fuzz
While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, friction causes normal wear. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove surface fuzz.
Zip feels stuck or difficult to operate
Check for fabric caught in the teeth. Ensure the zip track is clean of debris and consider applying a tiny amount of dry lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a pullover garment, no complex setup is required. To maintain the integrity of the Symmetry fleece, follow these care instructions:
- Machine Wash: Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Harsh softeners can degrade the fleece's performance features over time.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to prevent the fabric from pilling or losing shape, or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting.
- Storage: Fold the garment to avoid stretching the shoulders on a hanger.
Regarding compatibility, the Thompson fleece works best when paired with synthetic moisture-wicking base layers to keep your skin dry.
