FAQs

What is the primary material of the Regatta Frankie Fleece?

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).

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

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.

How do I know if the size is right?

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.

Can I wear this as an outer layer?

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.

What kind of activities is this fleece best suited for?

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

How much storage does the zipped pocket offer?

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

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected.

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

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

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 on the microfleece surface.

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.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Regatta Frankie Fleece requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear straight from the packaging. Its design makes it compatible with most outdoor apparel as a mid-layer.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the fleece's performance and appearance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C or 86°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the microfleece's effectiveness.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. If creases are present, a brief period in a cool tumble dryer may help.
