Full details

FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Thompson is designed as a midlayer for warmth and breathability and is not waterproof.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend washing on a gentle, cool cycle to preserve the fabric's soft texture.
What is the primary material used?
The fleece is made from durable, high-quality polyester designed to resist pilling.
Does it have pockets?
This model focuses on a streamlined half-zip design without external pockets to keep the profile slim for layering.
Is it suitable for summer hiking?
It is best suited for cooler climates, though it can be carried as a layer for when temperatures drop in the evening or at high altitudes.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
Anti-pill means the fabric has been treated to prevent the formation of small balls of fiber on the surface, ensuring it remains smooth.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks when opening
Check for loose threads around the zipper track and ensure no fabric is caught; a light application of silicone-free lubricant can also help.
Fleece feels less warm than when new
Over time, the loft of the fleece can flatten due to compression; laundering and shaking the garment can help restore its thermal properties.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Thompson fleece, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool setting with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh bleaches or heavy fabric softeners, as these can break down the anti-pill treatment.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying on high heat may cause the polyester fibers to shrink or damage the zip components.
- Compatibility: This fleece functions best when paired with a breathable waterproof shell, as it helps pull moisture away from the skin while the shell protects you from wind and rain.
