Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie men's full zip fleece is designed for adult males seeking everyday warmth and comfort, especially for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing reliable insulation through a combination of soft microfleece and protective poplin panels, making it ideal for layering. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily as a mid-layer, rather than a standalone outer shell in harsh weather. Key features include its dual-fabric construction, zipped pockets for secure storage, and stretch binding for a snug fit.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Frankie fleece?
The primary purpose of the Regatta Frankie fleece is to provide everyday warmth and comfort, serving as an excellent mid-layer for outdoor activities or casual wear.
What materials is the fleece made from?
The fleece is crafted from a combination of soft microfleece (70% polyester/30% polyester, 210 gsm) and durable micro poplin panels (63% polyester/37% polyester with PA coating, 84 gsm).
How many pockets does it have and are they secure?
Yes, it features two secure zipped lower pockets and one zipped chest pocket.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the fleece itself is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and comfort, and while the poplin panels offer some protection, a separate waterproof outer layer is recommended for rainy conditions.
How should I care for the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
What does 'full zip' mean in the product description?
A 'full zip' means the jacket has a zipper that runs the entire length of the front opening, allowing it to be fully opened or closed.
Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?
While it provides warmth and some protection, it is best suited as a mid-layer. For protection against significant wind or rain, pairing it with a suitable outer shell is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using the correct detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers. Tumble dry on a low heat setting as per care instructions.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Pilling or loss of softness
Minimize friction during washing and drying. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim. Follow the recommended washing temperatures and avoid high heat settings for drying.
