Full details

The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and durable mid-layer for everyday wear and outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing reliable warmth and comfort with added protection against the elements, making it ideal for changeable weather.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece?

The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is designed as a versatile mid-layer, providing warmth and comfort for everyday wear, countryside walks, and casual travel. It's ideal for layering in changeable weather conditions.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

As a mid-layer, it offers good warmth. For extremely cold conditions, you may need to add a warmer base layer underneath or a more substantial outer shell over the top.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, usually available on the retailer's website, and compare your chest and waist measurements. The product description specifies this is an adult male size XL.

Can I wear this as an outer layer?

Yes, for mild conditions it can function as an outer layer. However, it lacks waterproofing and significant windproofing features, so for wet or very windy weather, it's best used as a mid-layer under protective outerwear.

What is the fabric composition?

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

How should I wash the fleece?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry.

Troubleshooting

Fleece loses its softness after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of microfleece. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry naturally.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Seams appear to be pulling apart.

Check if the garment is being overstretched during wear or washing. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and care instructions, and avoid vigorous scrubbing of seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the fleece's warmth, comfort, and durability, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results, hang to dry.
