Full details
The Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece is an essential layering piece for adult men seeking a balance of lightweight warmth and urban functionality. Crafted from durable polyester micro fleece, it excels as an everyday mid-layer for commuting, light hiking, or casual outdoor activities, though it is not intended for high-intensity mountaineering or extreme weather protection without an outer shell.

FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this garment is made of polyester micro fleece, which provides warmth but is not waterproof or windproof.
Can I wear this as a primary outer layer?
It is suitable for cool, dry days, but it is best used as a mid-layer underneath a jacket if rain or high winds are present.
How should I wash the fleece?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang dry to preserve the fabric and elastic components.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large smartphone?
The lower pockets are designed for standard daily carry, but the chest pocket is best suited for small items like keys or credit cards.
What does the stretch binding do?
The stretch binding at the cuffs and hem helps the jacket stay in place and provides a clean, athletic fit that helps trap body heat.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on the surface of the fabric
Avoid washing with abrasive fabrics like denim. Use a dedicated fabric shaver if pilling occurs.
Zipper feels stiff
Ensure no fabric threads are caught in the teeth and consider using a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your fleece remains in optimal condition, machine wash it in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the performance of the synthetic micro fleece fibers over time. Hang drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the stretch binding at the cuffs and hem. This fleece is highly compatible with other Regatta outer layers if you are looking to build a full weather-protection system. For the best fit, verify your measurements against standard XL sizing before purchase.
