As a bitter cold snap tightens its grip on the UK, with London temperatures set to linger below 10 degrees Celsius, savvy shoppers are turning to a particular high-street hero to keep warm without cranking up the heating. A popular fleece top from Marks and Spencer, hailed for its cosiness, is flying off the shelves – and there's a clever way to get it for a bargain £20.
The Must-Have Winter Wardrobe Staple
The item in question is the Borg Funnel Neck Half Zip Sweatshirt, available in two stylish shades: cream and a dark grey thunder. Normally retailing at £35, the garment has become a focal point for deal-seekers. The secret to the major saving lies in a promotional offer from cashback site TopCashback.
New members who sign up for a free TopCashback account can receive a £15 welcome bonus, plus standard cashback on their purchase. This clever move effectively slashes the price of the sweatshirt to just £20.10 for new M&S customers. Existing M&S shoppers who are new to TopCashback can also benefit, getting it for around £20.70 after the cashback is applied.
Shoppers Rave About Warmth and Value
The sweatshirt has earned an impressive 4.4 out of 5-star rating from over 100 reviews on the M&S website. Customers are effusive in their praise, particularly during the current chilly spell. Many note that it "washes well" and is "very warm." Reviewers also appreciate that it "looks more expensive than the price" and is of "top quality."
Its versatility is a major selling point. One happy customer explained it's perfect for "walking the dog, commuting, or staying warm working from home," while another said it looks smart enough to "dress it up or down." Styling tips from shoppers include pairing it with jeans or leggings for a cosy yet put-together look.
Sizing, Stock and Alternative Options
The Borg sweatshirt is available in UK sizes from extra small to extra large, with most customers finding it true to size. As of now, the cream colour is fully stocked, but the dark grey thunder is only available in extra small or large due to high demand. A minor critique from one shopper mentioned that the sleeves felt a bit short.
For those seeking more colour variety, the article mentions UNIQLO's Fluffy Yarn Fleece Zip Jacket as an alternative, which comes in pink, green, blue, and purple for £24.90. Another option highlighted is the Superdry Super Soft Popper Neck Teddy Fleece, currently reduced by 30% to £45.49.

Getting the discounted price is a straightforward process:
