Full details
This Regatta Frankie Fleece Jacket in Black, size 10 UK, is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight and comfortable layering piece. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, thanks to its 100% polyester 210gsm microfleece fabric and sustainable recycled material construction. A minor consideration is its plain design, which may be less appealing for those seeking highly stylized outerwear.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Regatta Frankie Fleece Jacket is made of microfleece and is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability, and should be worn under a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
What does '210gsm' mean?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A 210gsm fabric weight indicates a mid-weight fleece, offering a good balance of warmth and breathability.
Can I wear this as my only jacket in winter?
While it provides warmth, this fleece is best suited as a mid-layer in very cold conditions. For winter use as an outer layer, you would typically need a more insulated or windproof and waterproof jacket.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
Refer to the product sizing chart provided by the retailer. Generally, ensure the jacket fits comfortably over your base layers without being too tight or too loose.
What other colors are available?
The Regatta Frankie Fleece Jacket is available in a range of colors, including Blue, Pink, and Light Vanilla, in addition to Black.
Is the '10 UK' size comparable to other sizing systems?
UK sizing is specific. If you are unsure, compare the jacket's measurements to your own or consult a detailed size conversion chart.
Are there men's versions of this jacket?
This particular model, the Frankie Fleece Jacket, is designed for women. Regatta offers other fleece styles that may be available in men's sizing.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Fleece appears to be pilling.
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying. Consider using a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
Jacket feels less warm after washing.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before wearing. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. If excessive, consider washing with a re-proofing agent designed for synthetic fabrics.
