FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Thompson Fleece?

The primary purpose is to serve as a versatile, warm, and comfortable midlayer for various outdoor activities and everyday use.

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 maintains a smoother appearance over time.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter conditions?

While it provides good warmth, it is best suited as a midlayer in very cold conditions. For extreme cold, it should be worn under a heavier insulating jacket and a waterproof/windproof outer shell.

How should I clean the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.

Can this fleece be worn by women?

This specific model is designed for men. While the sizing might allow for some women to wear it, it is not tailored for a female fit.

What is the material composition?

The fleece is made from 100% polyester, with 20% of that being reclaimed polyester, and features a 170 gsm weight.

How quickly does the fleece dry?

It is a quick-drying fabric, making it practical for use in changeable weather conditions or after washing.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected.

Ensure it is layered correctly with a base layer for insulation and an outer layer for wind resistance if needed. Check that the zip neck is fully closed when maximum warmth is desired.

Pilling starting to appear on fabric.

While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction or rough washing can sometimes cause minor pilling. Ensure the fleece is washed inside out and avoid abrasive materials in the wash.

Fleece feels slightly stiff after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade fleece fibres over time. A gentle tumble dry on low heat can help restore softness.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. If needed, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
