Regatta Thompson Fleece - XL

The Regatta Thompson Fleece is designed as a versatile midlayer, providing warmth and comfort for outdoor activities like trekking and countryside walks. It can be worn on its own in mild conditions or under a jacket for added insulation.

The fleece is made from 100% polyester SYMMETRY FLEECE, with a fabric composition of 80% Polyester and 20% Reclaimed Polyester. It weighs 170 gsm.

You can machine wash it at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

The fleece itself is not designed to be waterproof or windproof. It functions best as a warming layer and should be combined with a waterproof or windproof outer shell for protection against the elements.

The 'anti-pill' finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the fleece maintain its appearance and feel over time, even with regular wear and washing.

While it provides warmth, it is intended as a midlayer. For very cold weather, you will likely need to wear it under a warmer outer jacket or coat for adequate insulation.

This specific guide refers to the Regatta Thompson Fleece in Blue, size XL. Other sizes and colours may be available, check product listings for details.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have not used fabric softener, which can affect the fleece's properties. Try a gentle cycle and air dry if possible.

While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling. Ensure the garment is washed inside out and avoid abrasive contact during wear. Gentle tumbling in the dryer can sometimes help remove light pills.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. A small amount of lubricant, like graphite from a pencil tip, can sometimes help smooth zipper action.
