Is the Frankie Borg Fleece windproof?
No, it is designed as an insulating layer and does not block wind, so it is best worn under a windproof or waterproof shell.
Can I wear this as a base layer?

Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable; however, please follow the care label for specific temperature recommendations.
Does this fleece have pockets?
The Frankie Borg design prioritizes a simple, lightweight construction and does not typically include pockets.
How does the sizing run?
The fleece follows standard adult sizing; the relaxed cut is intended for comfortable layering.
Troubleshooting
Fabric looks matted or pilled after washing
Avoid high heat in the dryer and use a fabric shaver to gently remove surface pilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your fleece lasts, follow these simple care instructions. Always wash the garment in cold water with like colors to prevent color bleeding and fabric degradation. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent. It is highly recommended to hang the fleece to air dry rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic borg fibers and lead to pilling. For compatibility, this fleece fits best as a mid-layer; ensure your outer jacket is sufficiently sized to accommodate the loft of the fleece without restricting your range of motion.
