FAQs

What type of activities is this fleece best suited for?

The Regatta Frankie Fleece is ideal for everyday casual wear, light outdoor activities like walking or hiking in mild weather, and as a comfortable layering piece.

How should I care for the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash cold with similar colors using a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to preserve warmth and texture.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in the rain?

While the fleece offers some wind resistance, it is not waterproof. For rain or heavier precipitation, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer shell over the fleece.

Are the pockets secure enough for valuables?

Yes, the fleece features zipped pockets, which are designed to securely hold smaller items like keys, cards, or a phone.

What makes the raglan sleeves beneficial?

Raglan sleeves are cut diagonally from the underarm to the collarbone, allowing for a wider range of arm and shoulder movement compared to traditional set-in sleeves, thus enhancing comfort during activity.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter conditions?

As a microfleece, it provides good insulation for its weight, but for very cold winter conditions, it's best used as a mid-layer combined with a warm base layer and an insulated, weather-resistant outer jacket.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can trap air and reduce insulating properties. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and diminish warmth.

Pilling on the fleece surface.

Pilling is common with fleece. Reduce frequency of washing and drying, and consider washing inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid contact with abrasive materials.

Zipper is sticking.

Gently pull the zipper while applying slight pressure. If it continues to stick, rub a graphite pencil lead or a bit of wax along the teeth of the zipper to lubricate it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required for the Regatta Frankie Fleece; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This fleece is designed as a standalone piece or as a layering item. It is compatible with various outdoor and casual wear, including t-shirts, base layers, jeans, and outdoor trousers. It can be worn under waterproof jackets or insulated coats for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's effectiveness.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fibers.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. If creases occur, a cool iron may be used very carefully on the reverse side, away from printed areas if applicable.
  5. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
