FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece?
The Regatta Thompson fleece is designed as a versatile midlayer, providing warmth and comfort for outdoor activities and casual wear. It can be worn on its own or layered under a jacket.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
An anti-pill finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, helping the garment maintain a smoother appearance over time.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to offer warmth and breathability. For waterproofing, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.
What is the GSM of the fleece?
The fleece fabric is 170 gsm (grams per square meter), which is a standard weight for a comfortable and breathable midlayer.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
As a midlayer, it provides good insulation. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it under a warmer, windproof, and potentially waterproof outer jacket.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for men's apparel. This specific item is a size XXXXL. Measure your chest, waist, and hip circumference to ensure the best fit.
What is the blend of the fabric?
The fabric is primarily made of 100% polyester Symmetry Fleece, with 80% polyester and 20% reclaimed polyester contributing to its composition.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels scratchy after washing.
Ensure you are not using fabric softener or bleach. Wash again with a mild detergent only and air dry. Avoid high heat.
Zip is difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zip back and forth. If it persists, check for any fabric caught in the zip. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil tip on the zip teeth can help.
Fleece is not drying quickly.
Ensure the washing machine's spin cycle was effective. Avoid tumble drying on high heat. For faster air drying, hang in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Pilling has started to appear.
While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction can sometimes cause minor pilling. Use a fabric shaver carefully on affected areas. Ensure proper washing and drying techniques are followed.
