Regatta Thompson Lightweight Half Zip Fleece - Brown

The main purpose is to serve as a durable and cosy mid-layer for outdoor activities, providing warmth and comfort.

The anti-pill finish enhances durability by preventing the formation of small balls of fiber on the fabric's surface, helping the fleece maintain its appearance and texture over time.

It is designed as a mid-layer, meaning it provides good insulation but is best worn under a warmer, protective outer jacket for very cold conditions.

The brushed inner side refers to a treatment that makes the inside of the fleece softer and fluffier, increasing comfort and warmth against the skin.

The zip neck allows for easy adjustment. You can zip it up for more warmth or unzip it to allow for ventilation and cooling.

While functional, its design is primarily for outdoor activities. Its suitability for everyday casual wear depends on personal style and the specific setting.

Given it's designed as a mid-layer, ordering your usual size should allow for a base layer underneath. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.

Ensure you have avoided using fabric softeners, which can reduce the loft and insulating properties of fleece. Re-wash with a mild detergent without softener if necessary.

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or aggressive washing can still cause some pilling. Reduce washing frequency and always wash with similar fabrics. You can gently remove initial pills with a fabric shaver.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstruction. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil lead to the zipper teeth.
