Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Frankie Half Zip fleece is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and practical layering piece for everyday wear. Its key benefit is providing warmth and coziness, making it ideal for casual outings. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily as a mid-layer rather than a primary outerwear for harsh weather. This fleece is crafted from soft microfleece, features a half-zip for ventilation, raglan sleeves for mobility, and convenient zipped pockets for secure storage. It offers a flattering fit with stretch binding and a curved hem.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this fleece?

The Regatta Frankie fleece is designed as a warm, comfortable, and practical layer for everyday wear, suitable for casual outings or as a mid-layer in cooler weather.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in winter?

While it provides warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer under a waterproof or windproof jacket for protection against harsh winter elements. It may be sufficient as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions.

How do I ensure I pick the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for women's apparel. The product description mentions it's suitable for adult women, and specific sizes like 'Size: 10' are available.

Are the pockets secure enough for valuables?

Yes, the fleece features zipped pockets, which provide a secure way to store smaller essentials like keys, a phone, or cards.

How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's softness and structure.

What do 'raglan sleeves' mean for the fit?

Raglan sleeves are cut from the armhole to the collar, allowing for greater flexibility and a wider range of motion in the shoulders and arms compared to traditional set-in sleeves.

Can this fleece be worn by men?

This specific model, the 'Frankie women's half zip fleece', is designed and sized for women. Regatta may offer similar fleece styles for men in their range.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

Ensure the fleece is properly dried according to care instructions. Over time, fleece can lose some loft; avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat during drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied sparingly to the zipper teeth.

Pilling on the fleece surface.

Pilling is common with fleece materials. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact with other clothing or surfaces.
