Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Thompson Lightweight Half Zip Fleece is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a versatile, midweight layer that balances warmth and breathability. Designed for adult men, this fleece excels as a standalone piece during mild hikes or as a cozy midlayer under a waterproof jacket in harsher conditions. While it offers excellent thermal properties, it is important to note that it is not windproof or waterproof, so it should be paired with a shell layer in stormy weather.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Thompson fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is made of polyester and does not have water-resistant properties. It should be worn under a waterproof layer if you expect rain.
Can I tumble dry this fleece?
It is recommended to air dry the fleece to prevent the fabric from shrinking or losing its anti-pill quality.
Does this fleece have pockets?
No, the Thompson Lightweight Half Zip Fleece is a minimalist midlayer and does not feature any pockets.
Is the material stretchy?
The polyester fleece offers a natural amount of give for ease of movement, though it is not a high-compression stretch fabric.
How does the sizing run?
The fleece follows standard adult men's sizing; it is designed to fit over a base layer comfortably while remaining slim enough for layering.
Troubleshooting
Visible lint or debris on the fabric
Use a lint roller or a soft-bristled garment brush to gently remove debris without pulling at the fleece fibers.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth; you can gently rub a graphite pencil lead over the zipper teeth to act as a lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical fleece, proper care is essential to maintain its performance properties. Always machine wash the garment on a cool cycle, ideally with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the polyester fibers and degrade the breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities of the fleece. Hang the garment to air dry rather than tumble drying to preserve the integrity of the anti-pill fabric and prevent shrinkage. When layering, combine this with a base layer to manage sweat and a shell layer when protection from wind or rain is required.
