FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, while it provides warmth, the fleece fabric is breathable and not designed to block strong gusts of wind.
Can I wear this under a rain jacket?
Yes, its slim profile makes it an excellent mid-layer to wear under a waterproof shell.
Does it shrink in the wash?
If washed according to the label instructions and dried naturally, it should maintain its shape well.
What is the material composition?
It is made from soft microfleece with durable polyester poplin reinforcement panels.
Is the fit true to size?
The Frankie Half Zip generally follows standard adult sizing, offering a relaxed but comfortable fit.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The zipped chest pocket is designed for small essentials, but sizing may vary depending on the specific model of your smartphone.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks when pulling
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track and apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Fleece appearing 'pilled' after use
Use a fabric shaver or lint remover to gently remove surface fuzz, and avoid washing with rougher garments like denim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a pull-on fleece, there is no technical setup required. To maintain the integrity of the microfleece and the poplin panels, machine wash at 30 or 40 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the wicking properties of the fleece fibers. Always zip the chest pocket closed before washing to prevent snagging, and hang to dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the elasticity of the hem and cuff bindings.
