FAQs

What is Symmetry Fleece?

Symmetry Fleece is a type of 170gsm polyester fabric used by Regatta, known for its lightweight, soft-touch, and anti-pill properties, making it suitable for comfortable layering.

How do I determine my size?

Please refer to the sizing chart provided in the product details. Chest measurements are given in inches: XS: 36.5 in, S: 38 in, M: 40 in, L: 42 in, XL: 44 in, XXL: 48 in, 3XL: 51 in, 4XL: 54 in, 5XL: 57 in.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in cold weather?

It is primarily designed as a mid-layer for insulation. While it offers some warmth, it may not be sufficient as a standalone outer layer in very cold, windy, or wet conditions. Layering it under a waterproof or windproof jacket is recommended for more extreme weather.

Is the fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and comfort but does not offer protection against rain or significant moisture.

How should I care for the anti-pill finish?

To best maintain the anti-pill finish, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle with like colours and avoid high heat drying or ironing. Do not use harsh detergents or fabric softeners.

What does '170gsm' refer to?

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. It indicates the fabric's weight. 170gsm means the fleece is relatively lightweight, suitable for comfortable layering.

Are there other colours available?

Yes, the Regatta Thompson fleece comes in various colours. Please check the product listing or sibling products for available options.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have followed the recommended washing temperature. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can sometimes affect fleece texture. Air drying or low tumble dry may help.

Zip is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to work the zip back and forth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zip teeth can sometimes help it glide more smoothly.

Pilling is developing

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish on one side, some minor pilling can occur on the reverse or with excessive friction. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive surfaces can minimize this.
