FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The Frankie Borg Fleece provides cosy warmth, making it excellent for cool conditions. For very cold weather, it's best used as a mid-layer underneath a robust, insulated outer jacket for maximum protection.

Can I wear this fleece in the rain?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It will absorb water and lose some of its insulating properties when wet. For rainy conditions, we recommend wearing a waterproof outer shell over the fleece.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to Regatta's official sizing chart, typically available on their website or the retailer's product page, to find the best fit based on your measurements. This specific variant is a Women's UK size 16.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the zipped pockets are generally designed to comfortably hold a standard smartphone, keys, or other small essentials securely.

How often should I wash my fleece?

Wash your fleece as needed, depending on usage. If worn daily or for activities, washing every few wears is reasonable. For occasional use, less frequent washing is fine, but always follow the care instructions.

Does this fleece have a lining?

The description highlights the cosy borg fabric itself as the main material. It does not specify an additional separate lining, implying the borg fleece provides direct comfort and warmth.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft or matted after washing.

This can happen with incorrect washing/drying. Ensure you're washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and air drying or tumble drying on very low heat. Avoid fabric softener.

Zipper snags or gets stuck.

Try rubbing a graphite pencil or a small amount of bar soap along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper path when zipping.

Fleece sheds or pills excessively.

Some shedding is normal initially. If it continues, ensure you're washing inside out and avoiding harsh detergents. A fabric shaver can help remove pills. Info needed: The product description does not specify anti-pilling treatment.

Fleece doesn't feel as warm as before.

This could be due to residue buildup from detergents or fabric softeners. Try washing with a fleece-specific cleaner or an extra rinse cycle without detergent to remove residue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth and comfort due to soft borg fleece fabric.
  • Versatile half-zip design for adjustable ventilation and easy layering.
  • Practical zipped pockets for secure storage of small items.
  • Durable and neat finish with flatlock stitching and stretch binding.
  • Suitable for a wide range of casual and laid-back outdoor activities.

Cons

  • Not inherently waterproof or windproof; requires additional layers for protection in harsh weather.
  • Fleece material can attract lint and pet hair.
  • May not be suitable for high-exertion activities due to warmth and potential bulk.
  • Info needed: Specific pilling resistance details are not provided.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece requires no special setup. Simply unpackage and wear.

Compatibility

  • Layering: This fleece is designed to be a versatile layering piece. Wear it over a lightweight base layer (e.g., a t-shirt or thermal top) for added warmth. For protection against wind or rain, pair it with a waterproof or windproof outer shell.
  • Activity Level: Best suited for low to moderate activity levels. For high-intensity sports, look for technical fleeces designed for moisture-wicking and breathability.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the softness, warmth, and appearance of your borg fleece. Always refer to the specific care label on your garment, as instructions may vary.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) with similar colours. Use a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's wicking properties and cause build-up.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry flat or hang to dry. Avoid high heat, as it can damage fleece fibers and lead to shrinking or matting.
  4. Bleach/Ironing: Do not bleach. Do not iron, as direct heat can melt the fleece fibers.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

Following these guidelines will help extend the life of your fleece and keep it feeling soft and looking great.
