FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Regatta Professional Thor III Fleece provides excellent warmth, making it a great mid-layer for cold conditions. For very cold or extreme weather, it should be combined with an appropriate thermal base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell for maximum protection.
Can I wear this fleece as my main jacket?
While it offers good warmth, this fleece is designed as a layering piece. It is not windproof or waterproof, so it's best suited as a primary outer layer only in dry, mild conditions. For protection against wind and rain, it should be worn under a suitable outer jacket.
How should I wash this fleece to maintain its quality?
To maintain the quality and performance of your fleece, machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cool or warm water (e.g., 30-40°C). Use a mild detergent and, crucially, avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the fleece's wicking and breathability.
What does 'anti-pill fleece' mean?
Anti-pill fleece is a type of fleece fabric that has been treated to resist forming small balls of tangled fibers, known as 'pills,' on its surface. This treatment helps the garment maintain a smoother appearance and greater durability over its lifespan.
Are the zipped pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The zipped pockets are designed to securely hold small valuables. Most standard smartphones will fit, though larger 'plus' models might be a snug fit. They are ideal for keys, cards, and small personal items, ensuring they don't fall out during activity.
Is this fleece breathable?
Yes, the fleece material is designed to be breathable and features moisture-wicking properties. This combination allows air to circulate and efficiently draws sweat away from your skin, helping to keep you comfortable and fresh during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
My fleece feels less warm over time.
Ensure you are washing it correctly and avoiding fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce insulation. Regular washing according to instructions should restore loft and warmth. Check for excessive wear in high-friction areas.
Despite being 'anti-pill', some pilling is occurring.
While anti-pill treatment significantly reduces pilling, some minor pilling can still occur in areas of high friction (e.g., under backpack straps). Gently use a fabric shaver or lint remover to maintain the garment's appearance.
The zipper is snagging or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, rub a graphite pencil along the teeth to lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
The fleece isn't drying as quickly as expected.
Confirm that you're not using excessive detergent or fabric softener, which can leave residue and hinder quick-drying properties. Ensure proper air circulation if air drying, or use a low heat setting if tumble drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
There is no complex setup required for the Regatta Professional Thor III Fleece. Simply choose your correct size and wear it as desired, either directly over a base layer or a light top.
Compatibility
This fleece is designed as a mid-layer. It is highly compatible with:
- Base Layers: Wear over moisture-wicking base layers for optimal thermal regulation during active use.
- Outer Shells: Fits comfortably under waterproof jackets, windbreakers, or heavier winter coats to provide additional insulation.

Care Instructions
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Thor III Fleece:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool or warm temperature, typically 30°C to 40°C. Use a gentle cycle to protect the fabric.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the fleece fibers, reducing its wicking capabilities and breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, air dry flat. Fleece dries quickly, so air drying is often sufficient and helps preserve the fabric.
- Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage fleece fibers.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach. This can degrade the material and affect its colour.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.
