Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking everyday warmth, offering a durable yet soft microfleece construction that serves perfectly as a reliable mid-layer. While it provides excellent thermal protection, users should note that the poplin panels are intended for reinforcement rather than full weatherproofing, so it may require an additional shell in heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, it is designed for warmth and comfort. The poplin panels offer extra protection, but you should wear a waterproof outer shell in heavy rain.
Can this be worn as an outer layer?
Yes, it is suitable for dry, cool conditions as an outer layer, or as a mid-layer under a coat for colder climates.
Does it shrink in the wash?
When washed according to the label instructions—specifically using cold water and avoiding high heat—shrinkage is minimal.
What is the purpose of the poplin panels?
The poplin panels are added to increase the durability and abrasion resistance of the garment in specific areas.
Is the fabric breathable?
Yes, microfleece is a breathable material that allows moisture vapor to escape, making it excellent for active outdoor pursuits.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes
Avoid over-washing and skip fabric softeners which leave residue that masks the fleece's natural texture.
Zipper sticks or does not move smoothly
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; if it continues to stick, run a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool or lukewarm water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of synthetic fibers.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting.
- Layering: Pair this garment with a light base layer in cold temperatures or a waterproof shell when weather forecasts predict precipitation.
