Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is made of polyester and is designed for warmth, not for rain protection. It should be worn under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air dry the fleece to prevent damage to the fibres and potential shrinking. High heat can damage the technical properties of the material.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

Anti-pill refers to a fabric treatment that prevents the formation of small, unsightly balls of fibre on the surface of the fleece, helping it look newer for longer.

Is the fit true to size?

The Regatta Thompson fleece generally follows standard sizing for a midlayer; if you plan to wear thick base layers underneath, some users prefer to size up.

Does this fleece have pockets?

This specific lightweight model is designed for a streamlined, minimalist fit and does not include exterior or interior pockets.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the polyester fabric is naturally breathable, making it suitable for active pursuits where moisture management is necessary.

Troubleshooting

Static electricity buildup

Lightly mist the fleece with water or use a static-reduction spray during the laundry cycle.

Stiff or rough texture after washing

Avoid using heavy detergents; switch to a gentle liquid soap and ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed.

Difficulty with the zip mechanism

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth; if the zipper feels stiff, rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil along the teeth to act as a lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for active use
  • Soft, comfortable interior finish
  • Durable fabric resistant to surface pilling
  • Easy temperature regulation via the half-zip
  • Highly versatile for both hiking and casual wear

Cons

  • Not windproof on its own
  • Lacks zippered pockets for secure storage
  • Requires a shell jacket for heavy rain or high winds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fleece is a straightforward pullover garment that requires no setup. It is fully compatible with standard outdoor layering systems, fitting well under most shell jackets, parkas, or down vests.

To keep the fleece in optimal condition:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric integrity and prevent shrinking.
  3. Avoid Bleach: Never use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the anti-pill treatment and the technical properties of the polyester.
  4. Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
