Regatta Thompson Fleece - Orange - M

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.

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.

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.

'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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
