Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Thompson Fleece is a versatile midlayer for adult males, offering durable warmth and comfort for outdoor activities. Its primary benefit lies in its dual-sided fleece construction, providing both a soft, brushed interior and a durable, anti-pill exterior. A potential consideration is its role as a midlayer, meaning it requires an outer shell for full weather protection.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece?
The Regatta Thompson Fleece is designed as a versatile midlayer for warmth and comfort during outdoor activities. It can also be worn as a standalone piece in milder conditions.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
Anti-pill means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, ensuring a smoother appearance and feel over time.
Can this fleece be worn in the rain?
The fleece itself is not waterproof. It offers insulation but will get wet in the rain. For rainy conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof outer jacket.
How should I wash the fleece?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not iron.
What is the weight of the fleece fabric?
The fleece fabric is 170 gsm (grams per square meter).
Does this fleece contain recycled materials?
Yes, the fabric is composed of 80% Polyester and 20% Reclaimed Polyester, making it a more sustainable choice.
What sizes and colors are available?
This guide focuses on the White - M size. Please refer to product listings for a full range of available sizes and colors.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener during washing. Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent.
Fleece is not as warm as expected.
Ensure the fleece is layered appropriately. For colder conditions, pair it with a suitable base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If persistent, contact customer support.
Fleece shows signs of pilling.
While designed to be anti-pill, pilling can occur with excessive friction. Wash inside out and avoid abrasive materials to minimize pilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
No specific setup is required for the Regatta Thompson Fleece. It is ready to wear straight out of packaging.
Compatibility:
This fleece is designed as a versatile midlayer and is compatible with most types of outer shells, including waterproof jackets, windbreakers, and heavier parkas. It functions effectively over base layers for enhanced thermal regulation.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the fleece's softness and anti-pill properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fleece fibers and reduce their effectiveness.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
- Pilling: While the fabric is designed to be anti-pill, some minor pilling may occur over time with heavy use and frequent washing. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive contact can minimize this.
