FAQs

What is the primary use case for the Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece?

It is designed as a versatile mid-layer for outdoor activities such as walking and casual travel, as well as for everyday casual wear, providing warmth and comfort.

What materials is the fleece made from?

The main body is made from a soft microfleece (70% polyester/30% polyester, 210 gsm), with tough poplin panels (63% polyester/37% polyester with PA coating, 84 gsm) for extra protection.

How do I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry, and do not iron or dry clean.

Does the fleece have any pockets?

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

Is this fleece suitable for very cold or wet weather?

The fleece provides good warmth as a mid-layer. For very cold or wet conditions, it is recommended to wear it under a waterproof and insulated outer jacket.

What does 'half zip' mean?

It means the garment has a zipper that extends only partway down the front, typically to the chest, allowing for adjustable ventilation.

Can this fleece be worn by women?

While designed specifically for men, women may find it suitable depending on their preferred fit and sizing. It's recommended to check the size guide and consider layering needs.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the fleece is clean and free from dirt or debris, which can trap air. Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as this can impair insulation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the pull tab back and forth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a wax-based lubricant can be applied sparingly to the zipper teeth.

Pilling on the fabric surface.

Some pilling is normal with microfleece over time. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid excessive friction during washing and drying. Use a fabric shaver for a cleaner appearance.

Fit feels too loose.

The fleece has a regular fit. For a slimmer fit, consider layering it over tighter base layers or pairing it with a more fitted jacket. Ensure the stretch binding on the hem is snug.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides good warmth for its weight.
  • Durable construction suitable for outdoor use.
  • Comfortable to wear as a mid-layer.
  • Practical features like a zipped pocket and zip neck.
  • Versatile for various activities from walking to everyday wear.

Cons

  • Regular fit might be too loose for some seeking a slim profile.
  • Limited breathability compared to technical performance wear.
  • Primarily designed as a mid-layer, may require an outer shell in harsh weather.
  • Only one zipped pocket limits storage options.
  • Material may pill over time with extensive use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This fleece is designed as a versatile men's apparel item. It layers effectively with base layers, t-shirts, and under outerwear such as waterproof jackets or windbreakers. It is suitable for adult males of all sizes within the available size range.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with similar colours.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's insulating properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. If creases are present, a brief, low-heat tumble dry may help.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
