Full details

Its key benefit is providing versatile protection against changing weather conditions through its combination of soft microfleece and protective poplin panels.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the fleece?

The fleece is made from 70% polyester/30% polyester micro fleece fabric (210 gsm) and 63% polyester/37% polyester micro poplin with a PA coating (84 gsm).

Is this fleece suitable for very cold or wet weather?

The Frankie Half Zip Fleece is primarily designed as a mid-layer for warmth. While the poplin panels offer some protection, it is best used in conjunction with a waterproof or windproof outer layer in very cold or wet conditions.

How do I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents.

Can I wear this for vigorous outdoor activities?

It is suitable for activities like countryside walks. For high-intensity sports where significant sweating occurs, consider a more specialized moisture-wicking base layer underneath.

What are the benefits of the poplin panels?

The tough micro poplin panels provide extra protection and durability, particularly in areas prone to abrasion, such as shoulders and elbows.

Does the fleece have any pockets?

Yes, it features one zipped chest pocket for secure storage of small items.

What does 'half zip' mean for functionality?

The 'half zip' refers to the zipper that extends about halfway down the front of the garment. This allows for easy adjustment of ventilation and temperature control.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth.

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying, which can compress the fleece fibers and reduce insulation.

Seams appear to be fraying

Inspect the area for any loose threads. If minor, trim carefully with scissors. For significant fraying, contact customer support for potential repair or warranty options.

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the brand's specific size chart before purchasing. If the fit is consistently off, consider if a different size or model might be more suitable.
