FAQs

What exactly is 'borg fabric'?

Borg fabric refers to a type of fleece that mimics the appearance and texture of lamb's wool, offering exceptional softness and warmth. It's characterized by its fluffy, tactile feel, making it incredibly comfortable.

Is this fleece suitable for all seasons?

The Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece provides cozy warmth, making it ideal for cooler seasons like autumn, winter, and spring. It can be worn as a standalone outer layer in mild conditions or as a comfortable mid-layer in colder weather.

Does this fleece offer wind or water protection?

This fleece is primarily designed for warmth and comfort. It offers limited resistance against wind and is not waterproof. For windy or wet conditions, it's recommended to wear a windproof or waterproof outer layer over it.

How do I choose the right size?

Please refer to the Regatta size guide, often available on the product page or retailer's website, which provides detailed measurements. Consider your usual sizing for outerwear and whether you intend to wear thick layers underneath.

Can I wear this fleece for strenuous activities?

While comfortable for light activity, this fleece is best suited for laid-back adventures, casual wear, and general warmth. For high-intensity sports, you might prefer performance-specific fleeces designed for superior moisture-wicking and breathability.

Are the pockets on the fleece secure?

Yes, the Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece features zipped pockets. These are designed to keep your small essentials, such as keys or a phone, secure during your activities.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing

This can sometimes occur if fabric softener is used, or if too much detergent is applied. Try washing again without fabric softener, or use a reduced amount of detergent. Ensure it's dried on a very low heat or air-dried.

Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, a wax stick, or even the graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant. Always ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper's path before forcing it.

Pilling (small fabric balls forming) on the surface

Pilling can be common with some fleece types, especially in areas of high friction. You can gently remove these pills using a specialized fabric shaver, a lint brush designed for pilling, or even carefully with a sharp razor blade (use caution).

Fleece doesn't feel warm enough in certain conditions

Consider your layering strategy. This fleece is designed to provide cozy warmth as a mid-layer or outer layer in mild conditions. For very cold or windy environments, ensure you have an appropriate moisture-wicking base layer underneath and a windproof or waterproof outer shell.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece requires no special setup. Simply unpackage it and it's ready to wear.

Compatibility

This fleece is designed as a versatile layering piece. It pairs well over base layers or light tops and can be worn comfortably under a waterproof shell for added protection in inclement weather. Its comfortable design and style make it compatible with a range of casual and outdoor outfits, ideal for relaxed environments.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the fleece's softness, warmth, and appearance over time. Always prioritize the garment label's instructions.

  1. Check the Garment Label: Always refer to the care label sewn inside your fleece for the most accurate and specific washing and drying instructions. This is the primary source of information for your product.
  2. Washing: Generally, fleece items are best washed on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes reduce the fabric's breathability and softness over time.
  3. Drying: To preserve the fabric's integrity and prevent shrinking, tumble dry on a low heat setting or, ideally, air dry the fleece flat. High heat can damage synthetic fibers.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron fleece. The heat from an iron can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
  5. Bleaching: Do not bleach. Bleach can degrade the fabric and alter its color.
  6. Storage: Store your fleece in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for extended periods to help maintain its loft and insulating properties.
