FAQs

What is Symmetry Fleece?

Symmetry Fleece is Regatta's proprietary fleece fabric known for being quick-drying, low-maintenance, and having an anti-pill finish for durability and comfort.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The Thompson Marl Fleece provides reliable warmth and is ideal as a layering piece or for moderate conditions. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it with additional insulating clothing.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to the brand's standard size guide for men's apparel. The 'XL' in the title indicates the size. Ensure your measurements align with the guide for the best fit.

Can I wash this in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it cold (30°C) with similar colours. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on low or line dry.

What does 'marl' mean in the product name?

Marl refers to the fabric's appearance, which has a speckled or heathered look created by blending different coloured threads, typically white and another colour.

Does the fleece have pockets?

While not explicitly detailed in the product description, half-zip fleeces often feature a kangaroo pocket or side pockets. Check product images or retailer specifications for confirmation.

What is the difference between the brushed and anti-pill finish?

The brushed side provides a soft, fuzzy texture for comfort, while the anti-pill finish on the other side prevents the formation of small balls of fiber on the fabric surface, maintaining its smooth appearance.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not overloading the washing machine. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect the anti-pill finish. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.

Zip is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.

Loss of warmth over time.

Ensure the fleece is clean. Dirt and oils can reduce the insulating properties of the fabric. Follow the recommended washing instructions. Avoid excessive heat during drying, which can damage fibers.
