Regatta Thompson Fleece - Blue - L

Its primary purpose is to provide dependable warmth as a midlayer for outdoor activities or as a cosy everyday garment in changeable weather.

While it provides warmth, it is best used as a midlayer in very cold conditions, worn under a waterproof and windproof outer jacket for full protection.

Follow the care instructions: wash at 40°C, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoiding excessive abrasion and harsh detergents will help maintain the finish.

It can be worn as a standalone piece in mild, dry conditions. However, it offers limited protection against wind and rain, so it's best used as a midlayer when more significant weather protection is needed.

SYMMETRY is the type of fleece fabric used, known for being quick-drying, easy-care, and comfortable. 170 gsm refers to the weight of the fabric (grams per square meter), indicating a mid-weight fleece suitable for layering.

This particular model features a zip neck but typically does not include side pockets, as its design focuses on being a streamlined midlayer.

The zip neck allows you to easily adjust ventilation. You can pull it down to release heat when you are more active or zip it up to retain warmth when the temperature drops or you are resting.

Ensure the fleece is worn as part of a layering system. For colder conditions, pair it with a windproof or waterproof outer shell and a base layer to trap body heat effectively.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it persists, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or a bit of wax can help lubricate the zipper.

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive abrasion or harsh washing can still cause minor pilling. Ensure you follow the care instructions, wash with similar fabrics, and avoid high-heat tumble drying.
