Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a warm, durable, and comfortable mid-layer for variable weather conditions. Its key benefit is the combination of soft microfleece for warmth and tough poplin panels for added protection, making it ideal for outdoor activities and everyday wear. A potential caveat is that it is designed as a mid-layer, so additional insulation may be needed in colder climates.

FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter weather?
The Frankie fleece is designed as a mid-layer. For very cold winter weather, it is recommended to wear it in conjunction with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell.
What is the main benefit of the poplin panels?
The tough micro poplin panels provide extra protection and durability, especially in high-wear areas, and offer some resistance to wind.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The fleece is designed for a comfortable fit, so consider if you prefer a snugger or looser feel when layering.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
Yes, in mild or transitional weather conditions. However, it is not waterproof and may not provide sufficient warmth or protection against heavy rain or strong winds as a sole outer layer.
What material is the fleece made from?
The main body is made from 70% polyester and 30% polyester microfleece (210 gsm), with overlay panels of 63% polyester and 37% polyester micro poplin (84 gsm).
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its softness?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or air dry to preserve the fabric's feel.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing.
Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which can reduce the fleece's insulating properties. Wash according to care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Pilling or excessive lint on the fleece.
This can occur with wear. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
