Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a durable and comfortable mid-layer for variable weather conditions. Its key benefit is providing warmth and protection through a combination of soft microfleece and tough poplin panels. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily as a layering piece rather than standalone outerwear in harsh conditions. Key features include a zip neck for adjustable ventilation, a chest pocket for essentials, and durable construction.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the fleece?
The fleece is primarily made from 70% polyester and 30% polyester microfleece fabric, with additional tough poplin panels.
Is this fleece waterproof?
The fleece itself is not waterproof, but the micro poplin panels have a PA (Polyurethane) coating which offers some water resistance. It is best used as a mid-layer with a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.
Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?
It provides good warmth as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it under a heavier insulated jacket or coat.
How should I clean the fleece?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colours, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid dry cleaning.
What are the dimensions of the zipped chest pocket?
The product description does not specify exact dimensions, but it is designed to hold small essentials.
Is this fleece suitable for women?
This specific product (Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece) is designed for men. Regatta may offer similar styles for women.
What does 'half zip' mean?
A half zip means the zipper extends only partway down the front of the garment, typically to the chest area, allowing for adjustable ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the sizing guide and compare measurements to ensure the correct size is selected. The stretch binding on the hem, cuffs, and collar provides some adjustability.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper up and down to loosen it. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth can improve smoothness.
Fabric is pilling after washing.
Ensure washing in cold water and using a gentle cycle. Avoid overcrowding the washing machine. Air drying is preferable to tumbling.
Reduced warmth after extended use.
Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce its insulating properties. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric loft and performance.
