FAQs

What does 'anti-pill fabric' mean?

Anti-pill fabric is specially treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls of fiber, known as pills, on the surface of the material. This helps the fleece maintain its smooth appearance and soft texture even after repeated wear and washing.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Regatta Professional Thor III Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to be a warm and breathable mid-layer. For waterproof protection, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

How should I wash my Thor III Fleece?

Machine wash cold (up to 30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry. Always check the specific care label on your garment for detailed instructions.

Can I wear this fleece as an outer jacket?

Yes, you can wear it as an outer jacket in mild, dry conditions. However, for windy, rainy, or very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer beneath a protective outer shell for optimal comfort and protection.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

The two zipped lower pockets are generally spacious enough to securely hold most standard smartphones, along with other small essentials like keys or a wallet.

What is the material composition of this fleece?

The Regatta Professional Thor III Fleece is constructed from 100% polyester fleece material, known for its warmth, quick-drying properties, and durability.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter conditions?

As a standalone item, it provides good warmth for cool to moderate temperatures. For very cold winter conditions, it is best utilized as an insulating mid-layer in a comprehensive layering system, combined with a base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.

Troubleshooting

Fleece starts to pill despite anti-pill fabric.

While anti-pill, extreme friction or abrasive surfaces can still cause minor pilling over time. Reduce friction by avoiding wearing backpacks with rough surfaces or frequently rubbing against harsh materials. Ensure washing according to care instructions to prevent fiber agitation.

Fleece retains odors after washing.

Ensure you are using a sufficient amount of detergent and washing in water not too cold, allowing for proper cleaning. For stubborn odors, try pre-soaking the fleece in a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar (e.g., 1 cup vinegar to a gallon of water) for 30 minutes before washing. Air dry completely.

Zipper feels stiff or snags.

First, ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it's still stiff, gently rub a graphite pencil along both sides of the zipper teeth. The graphite acts as a lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can damage it.

Fleece doesn't feel as warm or soft as before.

This can sometimes happen if fabric softener has been used, which can clog the fibers. Wash the fleece again without fabric softener and ensure thorough rinsing. Air dry. Over-drying at high temperatures can also affect softness; always use low heat or air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Regatta Professional Thor III Fleece requires no special setup. Simply wear it as a standalone outer layer in mild conditions or as a mid-layer over a base layer and under an outer shell in colder or harsher weather.

Compatibility

This fleece is designed as a versatile layering piece. It is fully compatible with:

  • Base Layers: Wear over a moisture-wicking base layer for optimal thermal regulation during high-output activities.
  • Outer Shells: Combine with a waterproof or windproof jacket for enhanced protection against the elements, forming a comprehensive three-layer system.
  • Workwear: Its durable and professional appearance makes it suitable for integrating into work uniforms or outdoor professional attire.

Care

The Thor III Fleece is made from easy care fabric to simplify maintenance and ensure longevity. Follow these general guidelines, but always check the garment's specific care label for precise instructions.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C) with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric's integrity.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fleece fibers and reduce its moisture-wicking properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, air dry flat or hang dry. The quick-drying nature of the fabric means it won't take long. Avoid high heat, which can cause synthetic fibers to melt or pill.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. High heat will damage the fleece material.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Ensure it's clean and completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
