Full details
The Regatta Thompson Fleece is designed for adult males seeking dependable warmth during outdoor activities, particularly in cooler, changeable weather. Its key benefit is providing comfortable insulation with a soft brushed inner and a practical zip neck for temperature regulation.

FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
The Regatta Thompson Fleece provides good insulation as a mid-layer, but it is not designed to be a primary outer shell in extreme cold or heavy precipitation. For such conditions, layering it under a waterproof and windproof jacket is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to standard men's apparel sizing. Check product descriptions for specific fit types (e.g., regular) and compare with your measurements. Available sizes include S, M, XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXXL, and 5XL.
Can this fleece be worn on its own in mild weather?
Yes, in mild or cool weather, the fleece can be worn comfortably on its own. The zip neck allows for easy temperature adjustment.
What is the main benefit of the zip neck?
The zip neck provides crucial ventilation. It allows you to quickly release excess body heat during physical activity, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature and prevent overheating without needing to remove the garment.
What material is the fleece made from?
The fleece is made from polyester, known for its durability, lightweight warmth, and quick-drying properties.
How should I care for the fleece to ensure longevity?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron. Proper care will help maintain its warmth and soft texture.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Ensure the fleece is properly dried. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Gentle washing and low-heat drying are recommended.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the fabric around the zipper taut. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid abrasive contact with other garments. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove noticeable pills.
