Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Frankie men's half zip fleece is designed for adult males seeking a durable, comfortable, and warm mid-layer for outdoor activities and everyday wear. Its key benefit is providing adaptable warmth and protection against changing weather conditions. A potential caveat is that it's primarily a mid-layer and may require additional insulation in extreme cold. This fleece combines soft microfleece with tough, coated poplin panels for enhanced durability and protection, featuring a convenient zip neck and a single chest pocket.

FAQs

What is the primary use case for this fleece?

The Regatta Frankie fleece is primarily designed as a mid-layer for warmth and comfort during outdoor activities like walking and casual travel, or for everyday wear.

What materials is the fleece made from?

It is made from a combination of soft microfleece (70% polyester/30% polyester) and durable, coated micro poplin panels (63% polyester/37% polyester).

How do I wash and care for the fleece?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Avoid fabric softener.

Does it have any pockets?

Yes, it features one zipped chest pocket for secure storage of small items.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the fleece itself is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and can be worn under a waterproof jacket for full weather protection.

What does 'half zip' mean?

A half zip means the jacket has a zipper that extends approximately halfway down the front, allowing for adjustable ventilation.

Can this be worn as an outer layer?

It can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. However, for true weather protection against wind and rain, it functions best as a mid-layer under an appropriate outer shell.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as this can affect the fabric's texture. Avoid high heat drying or ironing, as this can also make the fleece feel stiff.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Fleece is not warm enough on its own

This fleece is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, wear it over a thermal base layer and/or under a waterproof or insulated outer jacket.
