Regatta Frankie Fleece - Regular - Cream - XL

The main body is made from 70% polyester/30% polyester microfleece fabric (210 gsm), with additional panels made from 63% polyester/37% polyester micro poplin (84 gsm).

The Frankie Fleece is designed as an excellent mid-layer for warmth. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it with a warm base layer and a waterproof/windproof outer shell.

The fleece has a 'Regular' fit. It's best to consult the brand's sizing chart or try it on if possible. Key measurements for fit include chest, waist, and sleeve length.

Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. However, its performance is optimized as a mid-layer due to the materials used.

It is ideal for countryside walks, casual travel, everyday wear, and as a layering piece for various outdoor pursuits in changeable weather.

The zipped chest pocket is suitable for small items such as keys, a mobile phone, or a small wallet.

Ensure the fleece is clean. Fabric softeners or heavy soiling can reduce insulating properties. Check for any damage to the microfleece or poplin panels.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Pilling is a common occurrence with microfleece over time. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills. Washing inside out and avoiding abrasive contact can help minimize future pilling.
