FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece?

The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is designed as a versatile mid-layer for warmth and comfort, suitable for outdoor activities and casual wear.

What material is the fleece made from?

It is made from a combination of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester microfleece (210 gsm), with 63% polyester and 37% polyester micro poplin panels (84 gsm).

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

This fleece provides good warmth and some protection from light elements due to the poplin panels, but it is not waterproof. For heavy rain, an outer waterproof layer is recommended.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It is recommended to consult the Regatta sizing guide and measure yourself accurately. Pay attention to chest and sleeve measurements. The stretch binding ensures a degree of flexibility.

Is the chest pocket large enough for a smartphone?

The zipped chest pocket is designed for smaller essentials. Please check the dimensions if you intend to store a smartphone, as larger modern phones may not fit comfortably.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The microfleece fabric is 210 gsm, and the micro poplin panels are 84 gsm.

Can this fleece be used as a standalone jacket?

It can be used as a standalone jacket in mild, dry conditions. However, its primary function is as a mid-layer for added insulation under a jacket.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Regatta sizing guide. The stretch binding may offer a snug fit, which is normal for a mid-layer.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper up and down a few times. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based product to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.

Fleece loses its warmth or softness after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog the fleece fibers and reduce insulation. Air drying or low tumble dry is recommended.

Cons

  • May require checking size charts for a perfect fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fleece requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. It is designed for compatibility with most outdoor and casual wear as a mid-layer.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Fully machine washable. Refer to the care label on the garment for specific temperature and cycle recommendations. It is recommended to wash with similar colors.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as they can damage the fabric.
  • Ironing: Generally, ironing is not required. If necessary, iron on a low setting, avoiding direct heat on any printed logos or coated areas.
