Full details
The Regatta Thompson Half Zip Fleece Top is an essential layering piece for men who prioritize comfort and versatility during outdoor activities or casual daily wear. Crafted from 170gsm Symmetry fleece, it offers a lightweight, soft-touch thermal layer that excels in transitioning between indoor and outdoor environments. While it provides excellent breathability and warmth, users should note that as a lightweight garment, it is best utilized as part of a layered system rather than as a heavy-duty standalone outerwear piece in extreme weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this garment is made from polyester fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability.
Can I tumble dry this fleece?
While it can withstand a low-heat tumble dry, we recommend air drying to extend the life of the fabric and maintain its softness.
Is the material stretchy?
The Symmetry fleece used in this garment offers natural flexibility, ensuring a comfortable fit that moves with your body during physical activity.
What is 170gsm weight?
GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 170gsm weight indicates a lightweight, breathable fleece that provides moderate warmth without being bulky.
Does it have pockets?
The standard design of the Regatta Thompson Half Zip is focused on a streamlined fit and does not include exterior or interior pockets.
Will the color fade?
The polyester material is generally colorfast, but we recommend washing it inside out and avoiding direct sunlight for prolonged periods during drying to keep the color vibrant.
Troubleshooting
Fabric surface looks slightly worn after many uses
While the fleece has an anti-pill treatment, regular washing and drying can eventually cause some pilling; use a dedicated fabric shaver to restore the smooth surface.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth; you can lightly rub the zip teeth with a graphite pencil to lubricate them if they become difficult to operate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your fleece in peak condition, machine wash it on a cool cycle with similar colors. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can sometimes interfere with the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and longevity of the fleece material. Regarding compatibility, the Thompson fleece fits well under most standard-sized waterproof shells or insulated parkas. It is true to size, but if you intend to wear thick clothing underneath, you may consider layering appropriately according to your standard fit preference.
