Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Fleece is designed for adults seeking reliable, lightweight insulation during daily outdoor activities. It excels at providing soft, cosy warmth through its high-quality polyester borg fabric, making it a perfect layering piece for cool weather. While it offers excellent comfort for walking and travel, users should note that the fabric is optimized for insulation rather than high-intensity wind resistance, meaning it functions best as a mid-layer in harsh weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend a cool, gentle cycle and air drying to preserve the fabric texture.
Can I wear this as a primary outer layer?
It is suitable for cool, calm days, but because it is not windproof, it should be paired with a windbreaker or shell for colder or windy conditions.
What does 'borg' fabric mean?
Borg fabric is a type of high-pile synthetic fleece designed to mimic sheepskin, offering excellent heat retention and a soft, plush feel.
Does it have pockets?
The Frankie Borg Half Zip focuses on a minimalist design, primarily featuring the half-zip neck rather than large zippered pockets.
Will this fleece shrink in the wash?
If washed in cold water and air-dried, it will retain its shape. Avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent any potential shrinkage.
Troubleshooting
Pilling or small balls appearing on the fabric
Use a fabric shaver or a specialized sweater comb to gently remove pills after washing.
Static cling in dry weather
Lightly mist the inside of the fleece with water or use a metal hanger to neutralize charge before putting it on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup—it is ready for use immediately. To maintain the integrity of the borg fabric, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the polyester fibers and reduce their ability to wick moisture and trap heat. Always hang dry or lay flat; avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause the synthetic fibers to lose their loft or melt. For best performance, pair this fleece with a moisture-wicking base layer to ensure sweat is moved away from the body, keeping the insulation layer dry and effective.
