FAQs

Is the Regatta Thompson fleece waterproof?

No, it is designed for warmth and breathability rather than water resistance. It should be worn under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.

What does 170gsm mean?

GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. 170gsm is considered a lightweight fleece, making it ideal for layering without feeling overly heavy or bulky.

Does the fleece have pockets?

The standard design focuses on a clean, minimalist silhouette and typically does not feature side pockets.

Can I iron this garment?

It is generally not recommended to iron synthetic fleece as high heat can melt the fibers. If wrinkles persist, hang the garment in a steamy bathroom.

Is the fit true to size?

Yes, it follows standard regular fit sizing, though it is designed to accommodate layers underneath.

What is the benefit of the anti-pill finish?

The anti-pill finish prevents small balls of fabric from forming on the surface, which keeps the fleece looking new even after multiple washes.

Troubleshooting

Static build-up

Lightly mist the garment with water or use a static-guard spray. Ensure it is not being dried on high heat in the tumble dryer.

Visible lint collection

Use a lint roller or a fabric shaver specifically designed for delicate fleeces to remove debris without damaging the fibers.

Zip catching

Ensure no inner fabric is caught in the teeth. If the zip feels stiff, rub a small amount of paraffin wax or a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to lubricate them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design prevents overheating
  • Soft-touch material is comfortable for long wear
  • Anti-pill technology maintains garment longevity
  • Versatile layering capability
  • Classic, minimalist aesthetic

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof
  • Regular fit may feel loose on slimmer frames
  • Polyester material requires careful heat management

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your fleece maintains its texture and thermal properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle. Always turn the garment inside out to protect the soft-touch surface.
  2. Detergents: Use mild detergents. Avoid heavy fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking efficiency of the fleece.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a tumble dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent damage to the polyester fibers.
  4. Compatibility: This item pairs seamlessly with Regatta waterproof shells, denim jeans, or hiking trousers. Avoid layering with abrasive outer layers that lack smooth liners, as this can increase pilling over time.
