FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Symmetry Fleece?

The Symmetry Fleece is known for being lightweight, soft to the touch, and providing a good warmth-to-weight ratio, making it comfortable for extended wear and effective as a layering piece.

Is this fleece warm enough for winter?

This particular fleece is a lighter weight (170gsm). While it provides warmth, it's best suited as a mid-layer under a heavier jacket for cold winter conditions. It's ideal for milder weather on its own.

How do I know if the size M will fit me?

Size M in this garment corresponds to a 40-inch chest measurement for men. It is recommended to check the specific size chart provided by Regatta for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear this for high-intensity activities?

Yes, its lightweight and breathable nature makes it suitable for activities like hiking. The half-zip allows for ventilation during exertion.

How should I wash this fleece top?

Machine wash at 30°C or below with zippers closed. Avoid bleach and high heat drying or ironing. Do not dry clean.

Does this fleece have pockets?

This specific model, the Thompson Half Zip Fleece Top, does not feature pockets based on its design description.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have followed the washing temperature guidelines. Avoid fabric softeners, which can affect fleece performance. A low heat tumble dry might help restore softness.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If it remains stiff, a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Garment shows signs of pilling

While treated with an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can still cause pilling over time. Ensure zippers are closed during washing and avoid washing with abrasive materials. Gently remove any initial pills with a fabric shaver.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • May not be warm enough as an outer layer in very cold conditions.
