Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Thor 300 Full Zip Fleece Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a durable and warm mid-layer for outdoor activities or casual wear. Its primary benefit is excellent thermal insulation provided by the 300gsm fleece, keeping you comfortable in cooler conditions. A potential caveat is that it functions best as a mid-layer, so additional waterproof outer layers may be needed in wet weather. Key features include a full-length zip, two zip pockets, fleece cuffs, and an adjustable drawcord hem for a personalized fit.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Thor 300 Fleece?
The Regatta Thor 300 Fleece is designed as a warm and durable mid-layer, suitable for insulation in cool to cold conditions, or as a standalone jacket in dry, mild weather.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Regatta Mens sizing chart provided in the product description. It lists chest measurements in inches and centimeters for each size (XS to XXXXXL).
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, this jacket is made from fleece and is not waterproof. For protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.
How should I care for the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 40°C with a non-biological detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
What does '300 gsm' mean for the fleece weight?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter.' A 300 gsm fleece indicates a relatively dense and warm fabric, providing good thermal insulation.
Can the hem be adjusted?
Yes, the jacket features an adjustable drawcord hem, allowing you to tighten it for a snugger fit and to help keep out drafts.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester 300 series (anti-pill Symmetry fleece).
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect fleece properties. Tumble dry on a low heat to help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to close or open
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.
Jacket is not warm enough on its own
This fleece is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, layer it over a thermal base layer and under a windproof or waterproof outer jacket.
Pilling has started to appear on the fleece
While the fleece is anti-pill, excessive friction can still cause pilling over time. Wash the garment inside out and avoid washing with abrasive materials. Use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
