Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece - Blue - 18

Yes, the Frankie fleece can be machine washed. We recommend following the care label instructions and using a gentle cycle.

While the fabric offers some protection, it is primarily designed for thermal insulation. For high-wind conditions, we recommend wearing a windproof shell over the fleece.

Absolutely. Its lightweight, 210 gsm profile is specifically designed to work as a mid-layer under coats or rain jackets.

GSM stands for grams per square meter. It indicates the fabric density and weight; 210 gsm is considered lightweight, offering warmth without excess heaviness.

The lower zipped pockets are designed for small essentials. Most standard-sized smartphones will fit comfortably.

The fleece material provides natural flexibility, and the stretch binding at the cuffs and hem helps maintain the garment's shape while allowing for movement.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip track. You can rub a small amount of candle wax or a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to help the slider move smoothly.

To reduce pilling, wash the garment inside out and avoid mixing it with abrasive fabrics like denim or garments with Velcro.

Over-washing or using excess softener can flatten the fleece pile. Switch to a non-biological detergent and consider using a gentle cycle to fluff the fibers.
