Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Thompson men's fleece is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and comfortable midlayer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing dependable warmth with a dual-sided fabric offering both a soft, brushed interior and a durable, anti-pill exterior. A potential caveat is its function primarily as a midlayer, meaning it may require an additional outer shell in very cold or wet conditions.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Thompson Fleece?
Its primary purpose is to serve as a versatile and warm midlayer for outdoor activities, providing insulation and comfort.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
The 'anti-pill' finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, maintaining a smoother appearance over time.
How do I adjust the warmth when wearing this fleece?
You can adjust the warmth by using the zip neck. Zip it up fully for maximum warmth or pull it down to allow for ventilation and release heat.
Can this fleece be worn in wet weather?
While the fleece dries quickly, it is not waterproof. For protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.
What is the weight of the fleece fabric?
The fleece fabric is 170 gsm (grams per square meter), which is considered a standard weight for versatile fleece layers.
Does this fleece contain any recycled materials?
Yes, the fabric is made of 80% Polyester and 20% Reclaimed Polyester, indicating a portion of recycled content.
What sizes and colours are available?
This specific product variant is size S in Red/Orange. The Regatta Thompson fleece is available in various sizes (S to 5XL) and colours, including Red and Orange.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly regarding bleach and high heat. Air drying can help maintain softness.
Zipper is stiff.
Gently work the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Fleece is pilling excessively.
While designed with an anti-pill finish, very rough handling or washing with abrasive items can contribute to pilling. Ensure proper washing techniques and check care label.
Fleece is not warm enough on its own.
This fleece is intended as a midlayer. For colder conditions, layer it under a more insulated jacket or a shell with added thermal properties.
