Regatta Thompson Marl Lightweight Half Zip Fleece - Orange - XXL

Symmetry fleece is a type of polyester fleece fabric known for being soft, lightweight, and providing good insulation, making it suitable for outdoor apparel.

No, the Thompson Marl fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and comfort and is best used as a standalone item in mild conditions or as a layer under a waterproof outer shell.

For very cold weather, this fleece is best used as a mid-layer. It should be worn over a base layer and under a more protective outer layer (like a down jacket or waterproof shell) to provide adequate warmth and protection.

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, usually available on the product page or retailer's website. Compare your own measurements (chest, waist, etc.) to the chart to find the best fit. This guide specifies the XXL size for men.

The fleece is designed for everyday wear and offers reasonable durability for its intended use. Like most fleece garments, prolonged friction or harsh washing can lead to pilling over time.

The brushed inner increases the softness of the fleece against the skin and traps more air, enhancing its insulating properties and making it feel warmer and cozier.

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

Pilling is common with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid abrasive contact with other garments. Gentle washing and low-heat drying can help.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
