Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Frankie Colour Block Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight yet warm layering option for casual wear and relaxed outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing comfortable warmth without bulk, thanks to its soft microfleece fabric. A potential caveat is that while designed for warmth, it may not be sufficient for extreme cold conditions on its own. Key features include a full zip, two lower zipped pockets, one chest zipped pocket, and stretch binding for a comfortable fit.

FAQs

What type of fabric is the Frankie Fleece made from?

The Frankie Fleece is made from 100% polyester microfleece fabric with a weight of 210gsm.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

While it provides warmth, it is designed as a lightweight layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it in conjunction with additional insulating layers and an outer waterproof or windproof shell.

How many pockets does this fleece have?

The fleece features two lower zipped pockets and one chest zipped pocket, providing a total of three secure storage options.

Can I wear this fleece for strenuous activities like hiking?

Yes, it is suitable for hiking as a mid-layer. However, being 100% polyester, it may not be as breathable as natural fibers during high-intensity activities, so ensure proper ventilation via the full zip.

How should I wash my fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not iron.

What does 'Colour Block' design mean?

A colour block design refers to a pattern that uses distinct, solid blocks of contrasting colours to create a modern and visually striking look.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

Fabric softener may have been used. Ensure you use a mild detergent only and avoid fabric softeners in future washes. Air drying can also help maintain loft.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Pilling or fuzz balls forming on the fabric.

This can occur with regular wear and washing of microfleece. Washing inside out and avoiding abrasive contact can help minimize this. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove pills.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
  • Stylish colour block design adds visual appeal.
  • Multiple zipped pockets offer secure storage.
  • Provides good warmth for its weight.
  • Easy to layer over other clothing.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient for very cold weather without additional layers.
  • 100% polyester may not be as breathable as natural fibers for intense activity.
  • Specific care instructions are required to maintain fabric quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fleece requires no assembly. Its primary purpose is as a standalone garment or a layering piece. Compatibility is universal with most casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with similar colours.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the microfleece's effectiveness and breathability.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric is not designed to be ironed and high heat will damage it.
