Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Thompson Fleece is designed for adult males seeking dependable warmth for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing cozy insulation for trail days or as a versatile midlayer, with a slight caveat being its primary use as a layering piece rather than a standalone heavy jacket in extreme cold. This fleece features a soft brushed inner for comfort and a zip neck for adjustable ventilation, making it a practical choice for changeable weather.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the Regatta Thompson Fleece?

The fleece is made from 100% polyester SYMMETRY FLEECE, specifically 170 gsm, with a one-side brushed finish and an anti-pill finish on the other side. It also incorporates 20% reclaimed polyester.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter conditions?

The Thompson Fleece is primarily designed as a midlayer. While it provides good warmth, for very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to wear it under a warmer, insulated outer jacket.

How do I adjust the temperature while wearing the fleece?

The zip neck allows you to easily adjust ventilation. You can pull down the zip for more airflow when you get warmer, or zip it up fully for maximum warmth.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

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

Can this fleece be worn by women?

This specific model is designed for men. While the sizing might overlap for some, Regatta offers women's specific fleece designs for a tailored fit.

How quickly does the fleece dry?

The SYMMETRY FLEECE fabric is designed to be quick-drying, making it practical for use in changeable weather or after washing.

What is the weight of the fleece fabric?

The fleece fabric weighs 170 gsm (grams per square meter), indicating a lightweight construction suitable for layering.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected

Ensure the fleece is dry and not compressed. For colder conditions, consider adding a more insulating outer layer or a warmer base layer underneath.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Pilling has started to appear

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or harsh washing can sometimes cause minor pilling. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Gentle washing and air drying can help minimize this.

Fleece feels clammy during activity

Open the zip neck to increase ventilation and allow moisture vapor to escape. If persistent, ensure your base layer is also breathable and moisture-wicking.
