Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Thompson Marl Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, warm, and versatile layer for everyday outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing comfortable warmth without bulk, making it ideal for transitional weather. A potential caveat is its primary function as a mid-layer, meaning it may not be sufficient on its own in very cold conditions. Key features include its soft Symmetry fleece material, brushed inner for enhanced warmth, and a convenient zip neck for adjustable ventilation.

FAQs

What type of material is the Thompson Marl Fleece made from?

The fleece is made from Symmetry fleece, a soft and lightweight material designed for warmth and comfort.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The Thompson Marl Fleece is primarily a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it is best worn in combination with a warm base layer and an insulating or waterproof outer jacket.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The 'Regular' fit type is standard. The product information lists the specific size as 'L' (Large).

Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer?

Yes, you can wear it as an outer layer in mild to cool conditions. However, it does not offer windproof or waterproof protection, so an additional outer shell is recommended in adverse weather.

How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colours, use a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.

Does this fleece have pockets?

The specific product description provided does not detail pocket placement. However, Regatta fleeces often include zipped hand pockets. Please refer to product images or specific retail descriptions for confirmation.

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 fibres.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than before

Ensure the fleece is clean. Dirt and oils can mat the fibres, reducing their insulating properties. Wash according to care instructions.

Pilling or fuzzy surface

This is common with fleece. Reduce pilling by washing inside out and avoiding high-heat drying or abrasion from other garments. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove significant pilling.

Zip is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is clear of fabric. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Move the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant.
