Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Thompson Lightweight Half Zip Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and durable midlayer for outdoor activities or casual wear. Its key benefit lies in its dual-sided fleece material, offering both durability and exceptional softness. A potential caveat is that it functions best as a midlayer, requiring additional outerwear in very cold conditions. This fleece features an anti-pill side for longevity and a brushed side for comfort, a convenient zip neck for ventilation, and elasticated cuffs and hem for a secure fit. It is also notably made from recycled polyester, contributing to sustainability.

FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter weather?

This is a lightweight fleece designed primarily as a midlayer. For very cold winter weather, it should be worn in conjunction with warmer outer layers such as a waterproof jacket or insulated coat.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. The product description mentions specific sizes like S, XL, and XXL are available. Ensure you check measurements for chest and length.

Can I wear this directly against my skin?

Yes, the brushed inner side is soft and designed for comfort, making it suitable to wear directly against the skin, especially in milder conditions.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

An anti-pill finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the garment maintain a smoother appearance over time.

How many plastic bottles were used to make this fleece?

The product information states it is 'partially made reusing plastic bottles'. While a specific number per garment isn't provided, it indicates a commitment to using recycled materials.

Does this fleece have pockets?

The description does not explicitly mention pockets. Lightweight half-zip fleeces often feature a simple design without hand pockets, focusing on minimal weight and layering ease. Please check product images or specific listings for confirmation.

What is the GSM of the fleece?

The fleece is 170gsm (grams per square meter), which indicates a relatively lightweight fabric suitable for mid-layering.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating ability. Wash with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Pilling is appearing on the surface.

While designed with an anti-pill finish, excessive abrasion or improper washing (e.g., with rough items like denim) can still cause pilling. Ensure washing with similar fabrics and consider washing inside out.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the fabric around the zipper to ensure it's not caught. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

  • Elasticated cuffs and hem ensure a snug and warm fit.
  • Suitable for a range of outdoor activities and casual wear.

Cons

  • May require additional layers for very cold or harsh weather conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly or setup is required. This is a ready-to-wear garment.

Compatibility: Designed as a men's adult garment. It pairs well with base layers, t-shirts, and outerwear such as windbreakers, rain jackets, or heavier parkas. Suitable for a wide range of outdoor trousers and footwear.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine Washable: Follow standard machine washing procedures.
  • Temperature: Wash at 40°C (104°F).
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fleece's performance and anti-pill properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fibers.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. If creases are present, gently steam them out or allow them to relax naturally.
  • Washing Method: Wash with similar colors. Wash inside out to help preserve the outer finish.
