Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Thompson Half Zip Fleece Top is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, comfortable layer for outdoor activities or casual wear. Its key benefit is providing soft-touch warmth without bulk, thanks to its Symmetry Fleece fabric. A potential caveat is its reliance on a single zipper for ventilation, which might be less adjustable than other closure types.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece top?

The Regatta Thompson Half Zip Fleece Top is designed as a lightweight, warm layer for comfort during outdoor activities or casual wear in moderate to cool weather.

What type of fabric is it made from?

It is made from 100% Polyester Symmetry Fleece, which is known for being lightweight, soft-touch, and having an anti-pill finish.

How should I determine my size?

Chest sizes are provided: XS: 36.5 in., S: 38 in., M: 40 in., L: 42 in., XL: 44 in. It's recommended to measure your chest and compare it to these specifications.

Can this be worn in very cold weather?

It is suitable as a mid-layer for colder weather or as an outer layer in milder conditions. For extreme cold, it would likely need to be worn under a more insulated or waterproof jacket.

How do I care for the fleece?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.

Is the neck adjustable?

The fleece features a high-neck design for warmth and a half-zip fastening that allows for some adjustability in ventilation.

What does '1 Side Anti-Pill' mean?

This means that one side of the fleece fabric has been treated to resist the formation of small balls (pills) that can occur with friction, helping the garment maintain its appearance over time.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels rough after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle detergent and a low-heat tumble dry setting. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat, which can damage the fibers.

Zip is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zip up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zip.

Pilling has started to appear

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, heavy friction can still cause minor pilling. Gently remove any pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim.
