FAQs
What is the primary use of this fleece?
The Regatta Thompson fleece is designed as a versatile midlayer, ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and walking, or as casual everyday wear for warmth and comfort.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It provides good warmth as a midlayer. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to wear it under a more substantial outer jacket for full protection against the elements.
How do I clean the fleece?
The fleece is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with similar colours and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
'Anti-pill' means the fabric is treated or constructed in a way that reduces the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the garment maintain its appearance over time.
Is the material environmentally friendly?
Yes, the fleece is made from 170gsm recycled 100% polyester Symmetry fleece, with a portion of the material derived from recycled plastic bottles.
Can this fleece be worn by women?
This specific model is designed for men. While the fit might be adaptable, it's intended for a male cut. Regatta may offer similar women's specific fleece styles.
What is the weight of the fleece fabric?
The fleece is made from 170gsm (grams per square meter) recycled polyester Symmetry fleece.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect the fleece's texture. Air drying can also help maintain softness.
Pilling developing on the surface.
While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction or washing with abrasive items can contribute. Ensure washing on a gentle cycle and avoid washing with items that have rough surfaces like denim.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any trapped material. You can also apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth to help it slide more smoothly.
