Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Thompson Lightweight Half Zip Fleece is a versatile midlayer designed for adult men who enjoy trekking, hiking, or casual daily walks in cooler weather. It offers excellent warmth through its brushed inner lining and remains durable thanks to integrated anti-pill technology. While it excels as a lightweight thermal layer, users should note that as a fleece garment, it provides limited wind protection on its own and may require a shell jacket in severe weather conditions.

FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

The Thompson fleece is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a windproof shell. We recommend wearing a windbreaker or hardshell over it in windy conditions.

Can I wear this in the rain?

Polyester fleece will absorb some moisture in heavy rain. It is best used as a midlayer underneath a waterproof jacket for optimal protection.

How should I wash it?

Wash in a standard machine cycle at a low temperature (usually 30-40 degrees Celsius) and avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinking or damage to the fabric.

Is the fabric heavy?

No, it is classified as a lightweight fleece, intended to provide warmth without adding unnecessary bulk to your outdoor gear.

What is the benefit of the half-zip?

The half-zip allows you to ventilate quickly when you get too warm during active movement, without having to remove the entire layer.

Does it have pockets?

This specific model focuses on a streamlined, lightweight design and typically does not feature side pockets.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing fuzzy or bobbled

While the anti-pill technology is effective, ensure you are washing the garment inside out and following the care label instructions to prevent friction damage.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Gently remove any lint or debris from the zip teeth. A light application of paraffin wax or a silicone-based zipper lubricant can restore smooth operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft brushed interior for enhanced comfort
  • Anti-pill technology keeps the fabric looking fresh
  • Zip neck allows for easy temperature control
  • Easy to maintain and machine washable
  • Durable polyester fabric stands up to regular trekking

Cons

  • Not windproof on its own
  • Minimal pocket storage compared to heavier jackets
  • Best suited as a midlayer rather than an outer shell

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a pull-over garment, setup is straightforward—simply unzip the neck for easier entry. The fleece is compatible with most standard outdoor shell jackets, acting as an insulating layer between a base layer and a waterproof outer. To care for your fleece, machine wash on a cool setting with similar colours. Avoid using strong bleach or fabric softeners that can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester. For best results, hang dry in a well-ventilated area to maintain the integrity of the fabric fibres.
