Full details
The Regatta Thompson Lightweight Half Zip Fleece is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers looking for a reliable, eco-friendly midlayer.

FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Thompson fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability as a midlayer.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
Yes, but it should be worn under a heavier, insulated, or windproof jacket to provide adequate protection.
What is Symmetry fleece?
Symmetry fleece is Regatta's signature fabric that is durable, quick-drying, and easy to care for.
Is the material actually made from plastic bottles?
Yes, the 100% recycled polyester is produced by repurposing plastic bottles into high-quality technical fibers.
How should I store the fleece?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Fabric looks worn or bobbled
While the fleece features anti-pill technology, heavy friction can still cause mild piling. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove bobbles and restore the surface.
Garment feels less insulating after many washes
Avoid fabric softeners, as they leave a residue that can flatten the fibers and reduce the fleece's natural loft and insulation properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a standard cool cycle.
- Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the performance of the fleece fibers.
- Tumble dry on low heat if necessary, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fabric.
- Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the exterior finish.
