FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Thompson fleece is designed for warmth and breathability. It should be worn under a waterproof jacket if you expect rain.

Can I machine wash this fleece?

Yes, it is machine washable. Please refer to the care label for specific temperature recommendations to maintain the fabric's quality.

Is it suitable for winter sports?

It serves as an excellent base or midlayer for winter sports, provided you have a windproof outer layer over it.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

Anti-pill refers to the fabric's resistance to forming those small, unsightly balls of fiber (pills) on the surface after friction and wear.

How should I store the fleece?

Keep it hung on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape, or fold it neatly in a cool, dry place.

Does it fit true to size?

Yes, the Regatta Thompson features a regular fit, meaning it follows standard sizing conventions for a comfortable, non-restrictive feel.

Troubleshooting

Fabric starting to pill despite anti-pill claims

Ensure you are washing the fleece inside out and avoiding abrasive items like denim or velcro in the same wash cycle.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Clean any dirt or debris from the zip teeth using a soft brush, then gently run a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Static build-up

Avoid over-drying the garment in a tumble dryer, which can cause static; air drying is recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft and cosy brushed inner fabric
  • Anti-pill technology keeps the fleece looking new
  • Zip neck allows for excellent temperature regulation
  • Lightweight design is easy to pack for trips
  • Versatile enough for both casual and active wear

Cons

  • Not windproof or fully waterproof on its own
  • Limited to a half-zip rather than a full-zip opening
  • Requires layering for high-altitude or severe winter conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your fleece in peak condition, always check the garment's internal care label before washing. Generally, wash with like colours on a cool cycle to protect the anti-pill integrity of the polyester fabric. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can sometimes interfere with the moisture-wicking properties of technical fleece. When layering, this piece is most compatible with regular-fit jackets; if you plan on wearing it under a slim-fit outer layer, ensure there is enough room in the sleeves and chest to prevent bunching.
