FAQs

What is the primary material of this fleece?

The fleece is made from Symmetry fleece, known for its soft and lightweight properties.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter weather?

The Thompson Marl is a lightweight fleece, best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece. For extreme cold, additional insulation like a heavier jacket would be necessary.

How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer?

Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer in mild or cool weather. For windy or wet conditions, it's recommended to layer it under a windproof or waterproof jacket.

Does the fleece have pockets?

The product description does not specify pockets, but many fleece designs of this type include them. Please refer to product images or specific product details for confirmation.

What does 'Marl' refer to in the product name?

'Marl' refers to the speckled or heathered appearance of the fabric, created by blending different colored yarns.

Is this fleece available in other colors or styles?

Yes, the Regatta Thompson Marl line is available in various colors and styles, including different neck types like crew neck and V-neck, and other sizes. Check product listings for available variants.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which can coat the fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Always follow the recommended washing instructions.

Pilling on the fleece surface

Pilling is common with fleece. Reduce friction by washing inside out and avoiding contact with abrasive materials. Use a fabric shaver gently if needed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free it. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
