FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Thompson Fleece?
The primary purpose is to serve as a versatile and cozy midlayer for outdoor activities and casual wear, providing warmth and comfort.
How do I care for my Thompson Fleece?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather on its own?
It is designed as a midlayer. While warm, it may require an additional outer layer for protection against severe cold, wind, and moisture.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
An anti-pill finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the garment look newer for longer.
Can this fleece be worn by women?
This specific model is designed for men. However, Regatta may offer similar fleece styles in women's cuts.
How does the zip neck function?
The zip neck allows you to easily adjust ventilation. Zip it up for warmth and coverage, or pull it down to allow air to circulate and cool you down.
Is the material eco-friendly?
Yes, the fleece is made from recycled plastic bottles, making it a sustainable choice.
What does the embroidered logo signify?
The embroidered logo is a design element that adds a refined, understated aesthetic to the garment.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce its insulating properties. Check that the zip neck is closed and that elasticated cuffs and hem are snug to prevent drafts.
Pilling has started to appear.
While designed to resist pilling, excessive friction can still cause it. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can use a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based product applied to the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Garment has lost its shape after washing.
Always follow the care instructions. Avoid high heat in the washing machine or dryer, and reshape the garment while damp if necessary before air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Regatta Thompson Fleece requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. It is highly compatible with other outdoor gear, serving effectively as a midlayer under various jackets and shells. For care, machine wash the fleece on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fleece material and its properties. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry to maintain the garment's shape and integrity. It is recommended to wash similar colors together and to iron on a low setting if necessary, avoiding direct heat on any printed logos.
