Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Thompson Fleece is a versatile midlayer designed for adult men who need reliable warmth during outdoor activities like hill trekking or country walking. It features a soft, brushed-inner finish and durable anti-pill fabric, making it a sustainable choice for daily wear; however, users should note that as a lightweight 170gsm layer, it is best suited for layering rather than as a standalone outer shell in extreme weather conditions.

FAQs

Is this fleece machine washable?

Yes, the Regatta Thompson Fleece is fully machine washable.

What is 170gsm referring to?

GSM stands for grams per square meter; 170gsm indicates the fabric weight, categorizing it as a lightweight, breathable fleece.

Is the material waterproof?

No, this fleece is designed for warmth and breathability and is not waterproof.

Can I wear this as an outer layer?

It is suitable as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions but should be worn under a waterproof jacket if it starts to rain.

Does it come in different sizes?

Yes, the Thompson fleece is available in a wide range of sizes, including this 5XL variant.

Is the recycled material as durable as standard polyester?

Yes, the recycled polyester Symmetry fleece is specifically engineered to meet the same durability and insulation standards as virgin polyester.

Troubleshooting

Fabric surface shows small lint balls

While the fleece has anti-pill technology, heavy abrasion can occasionally cause minor pilling; use a fabric shaver to gently remove surface lint.

Static build-up

Fleece can generate static in dry conditions; try using a small amount of non-scented conditioning wash or hang to dry in humid air.

  • Anti-pill technology keeps the fabric looking new
  • Eco-friendly construction using recycled materials
  • Lightweight and highly packable for hiking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed for a standard regular fit and pairs effectively with base layers for cold weather or waterproof outer shells for rainy days. To maintain the integrity of the recycled fleece, follow these care instructions: machine wash the fleece on a gentle cycle using cool water. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches or fabric softeners, as these can break down the technical fibers. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry to ensure the material stays soft and retains its shape for many seasons.
