FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Frankie fleece is made of breathable micro fleece, which is not windproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a windbreaker or rain shell.
Can I wear this during heavy rain?
The fleece material is not waterproof and will absorb water. It should be worn underneath a waterproof outer layer if you are expecting rain.
Does it shrink in the wash?
Following the recommended washing instructions (cool water, air dry) will prevent significant shrinkage.
Are the chest and lower pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are designed for small essentials, though size may vary depending on your specific phone model.
Is the material heavy?
No, it is crafted from lightweight micro fleece, designed specifically for layering without adding bulk.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing fuzzy or pilling after washing
Use a fabric shaver or gentle lint remover to clear pills, and ensure you are washing the garment inside out.
Stretch binding on cuffs feels loose
Avoid high heat in the dryer, as excessive heat can cause the elastic fibers in the binding to lose their elasticity over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fleece is a standalone garment that requires no setup. To maintain the integrity of the micro fleece fabric, wash the fleece in cool to lukewarm water (max 40°C) with similar colors. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the wicking properties of the polyester fibers. It is recommended to air dry the garment to prevent potential shrinkage and to keep the stretch binding around the hem and cuffs elastic over time. Do not iron the nylon-look chest pocket section.
