FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece?

Its primary purpose is to serve as a warm and comfortable mid-layer for outdoor activities and casual wear, providing insulation in cool or changeable weather conditions.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to offer warmth and comfort, and for protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.

What are the main materials used in this fleece?

The fleece is made from a combination of soft microfleece (70% polyester/30% polyester) and tough micro poplin panels (63% polyester/37% polyester) with a PA coating.

How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and ironing.

Does it have pockets for carrying items?

Who is this fleece suitable for?

It is suitable for men looking for a practical and durable layer for activities like countryside walks, travel, or everyday casual wear.

What does 'half zip' mean in this context?

The 'half zip' refers to the zipper at the neck, which extends only about halfway down the front of the garment, allowing for adjustable ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check if the stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem is causing discomfort and consider if a different fit is needed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently pull the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface

This is a common occurrence with fleece. Continue to wash according to care instructions. Avoid excessive friction with rough surfaces.

Reduced warmth after washing

Ensure the fleece is completely dry before wearing. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the insulating properties of the fleece fibers.
