Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Thompson men's fleece is designed for adults seeking a versatile and comfortable midlayer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its dual-sided fabric providing both durability and warmth, making it suitable for various weather conditions. A potential caveat is its lightweight nature, which may not be sufficient as a primary outer layer in extremely cold environments. The fleece features a durable anti-pill side and a soft brushed side, a convenient zip neck for ventilation, and is crafted from quick-dry, easy-care Symmetry fleece.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece?

The Regatta 'Thompson' fleece is primarily designed as a versatile midlayer for outdoor activities, offering warmth and comfort. It can be worn on its own in mild weather or under a jacket for added insulation in colder conditions.

What does 'anti-pill' mean for this fleece?

'Anti-pill' means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls of fiber (pills) on its surface, which helps the garment maintain a smoother appearance and feel over time.

How do I adjust the ventilation?

The fleece features a zip neck. You can pull the zipper down to open the neckline and increase airflow for ventilation, and zip it up to close and retain warmth.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?

As a lightweight fleece, it's best suited as a midlayer in very cold conditions. For extreme cold, it would need to be paired with a substantial insulating outer jacket and a warm base layer.

What material is the fleece made of?

The fleece is made from 80% Polyester and 20% Reclaimed Polyester, using SYMMETRY FLEECE fabric which is 170 gsm.

Can this fleece be worn by women?

While designed with men's sizing in mind, women can wear this fleece. It is recommended to check the specific measurements for size L to ensure a suitable fit.

How should I wash and care for the fleece?

Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean. Following these instructions will help maintain the fabric's quality and durability.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected

Ensure you are using it as a midlayer. For colder conditions, pair it with an insulating outer jacket or a thermal base layer.

Fabric shows signs of pilling after washing

While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction or harsh washing can sometimes cause minor pilling. Ensure you are following the care instructions, avoiding abrasive materials in the wash, and using a gentle cycle.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
