Regatta Professional Thor III Interactive Full Zip Fleece - Bordeaux

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and manage moisture as an insulating mid-layer. For protection against rain or wet conditions, you should wear it under a waterproof outer jacket.

The 'Interactive' feature means this fleece is designed with special zippers and loops that allow it to be zipped directly into compatible Regatta Professional outer jackets. This creates a single, warmer, and more versatile garment.

To maintain the quality and `anti-pill` properties of the fleece, machine wash it cold on a gentle cycle. Do not use bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

While it can be worn on its own in mild, dry conditions, it is best suited as a mid-layer. It does not offer protection against wind or heavy rain, so for adverse weather, it should be paired with an appropriate outer shell.

The Regatta Professional Thor III is made with `anti-pill symmetry fleece` which is specifically designed to resist pilling, ensuring the garment maintains its smooth appearance and durability over time, even with regular wear and proper care.

As an insulating mid-layer, it provides significant warmth. For very cold winter weather, it should be combined with a moisture-wicking base layer and a protective outer shell to create an effective three-layer system for optimal warmth and comfort.

Ensure you are washing the fleece on a cold, gentle cycle with similar fabrics. Avoid harsh detergents, fabric softeners, and high heat in the dryer, as these can damage the fleece fibers. Air drying or tumble drying on very low heat is recommended.

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a silicone-based spray) to the teeth of the zipper. Operate the zipper several times to distribute the lubricant evenly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

The Thor III fleece is designed as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, ensure you are using it as part of a proper layering system: a base layer for wicking moisture, the Thor III fleece as an insulating mid-layer, and a waterproof/windproof outer shell for protection against the elements.
