FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Thompson Fleece?

Its primary purpose is to serve as a versatile and comfortable midlayer for outdoor activities, providing warmth without excessive bulk.

How do I know if the fleece will fit me?

Refer to the Regatta men's sizing guide, which provides chest measurements for sizes XS through to XXL. It is recommended to measure your chest and compare it to the provided chart.

Can I wear this fleece as my only layer in cold weather?

While it provides warmth, it is best suited as a midlayer. For very cold conditions, it should be worn under a more protective outer layer such as a waterproof or insulated jacket.

How should I wash and care for the fleece?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry on low heat, or air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

'Anti-pill' means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, ensuring the garment looks newer for longer.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Regatta Thompson Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for insulation and breathability as a midlayer.

What is the weight of the fleece fabric?

The fleece is made from 170gsm Symmetry fleece, which indicates a lightweight construction.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener. If stiffness persists, try a fabric conditioner specifically designed for synthetic materials, or air dry instead of tumble drying.

Pilling or bobbling on the surface.

While the fleece is designed to be anti-pill, some minor pilling can occur. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove any pills. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny drop of silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Sizing seems incorrect.

Refer to the Regatta men's sizing chart for accurate chest measurements. If between sizes, consider ordering the larger size for a looser fit or for layering.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to anti-pill finish.
  • Comfortable brushed inner side provides a soft feel.
  • Easy to adjust temperature with the half-zip design.
  • Suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities.
  • Lightweight, making it a practical midlayer.

Cons

  • May require careful attention to sizing charts for an optimal fit.
  • As a midlayer, it may not provide sufficient warmth on its own in very cold conditions.
  • 100% Polyester may not offer the same breathability as natural fibers for intense activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Regatta Thompson Fleece requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. Its design makes it compatible with most outdoor apparel, functioning effectively as a midlayer under various jackets. For care, it is recommended to machine wash the fleece according to the instructions on the garment label, typically on a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and softness. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fleece material over time. It is also advisable to wash with similar colours to prevent any color transfer.
