FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece top?

The Regatta Thompson Half Zip Fleece Top is designed primarily for warmth and comfort as a layering piece for outdoor activities or casual wear in cooler conditions.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide thermal insulation. For protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. It's recommended to check your chest and waist measurements against the chart. Some users find this item runs slightly small, so consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit.

Can I wear this as a standalone top?

Yes, you can wear it as a standalone top, especially in mild weather or indoors. For cooler outdoor conditions, it performs best as a mid-layer.

What does 'anti-pill finish' mean?

An anti-pill finish helps to prevent the formation of small balls or 'pills' of fiber on the surface of the fabric, which can occur with friction during wear and washing. This helps the garment maintain a smoother appearance over time.

Is the 'Red' color true to the image?

Color representation can vary slightly based on screen settings and lighting. However, the 'Red' typically refers to a standard shade of red.

What is the GSM of the fleece?

The fabric weight is 170gsm (grams per square meter), which is considered lightweight for a fleece.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you used a mild detergent and did not use fabric softener, which can sometimes reduce fleece softness. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat can help restore softness.

Pilling is starting to appear.

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling. Gentle washing and avoiding rough surfaces can help. If minor pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can be carefully used.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric away. If the zipper still sticks, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a bit of wax can help lubricate the teeth.

  • Versatile for various outdoor activities or casual use.
  • Easy to adjust ventilation with the half-zip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This garment requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility:

The Regatta Thompson Half Zip Fleece Top is designed as an adult male garment. It pairs well with base layers for added warmth or can be worn over a t-shirt. It functions effectively as a mid-layer under waterproof or windproof outer shells.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your fleece:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fleece fibers.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. The fleece material does not require ironing and high heat can melt the fibers.
  4. Bleaching: Do not bleach. This can weaken the fabric and affect its color.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
