Full details
The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is designed for adults seeking a stylish, cozy mid-layer for cold-weather activities. Its standout feature is the unique combination of soft-touch, 200gsm borg texture and a distinctive leopard-camouflage print that provides both warmth and flair. While it offers excellent insulating properties for everyday wear, users should note that the polyester material is best suited for dry or light weather conditions and may require specific care to maintain the plush quality of the borg fabric.

FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for heavy rain?
No, this garment is made of polyester borg and is not waterproof. It should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket if rain is expected.
Can I tumble dry this garment?
It is not recommended. Tumble drying can degrade the soft-touch texture of the borg fabric. Air drying is the best way to maintain its quality.
Is the fit true to size?
The garment is designed as a standard adult fit. Please refer to your usual UK dress size; the stretch binding allows for a comfortable, slightly flexible fit.
How heavy is this fleece?
The fabric has a 200gsm (grams per square meter) handle, providing a balance of effective insulation without being overly heavy or restrictive.
What is the purpose of the stretch binding?
The stretch binding at the cuffs and hem helps seal the garment against your body, preventing cold air from entering and helping to maintain heat.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes
Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and avoid fabric softeners that can coat the fibers. Air drying is significantly better for preserving the borg texture.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Check for fabric fibers caught in the zip track. Gently pull the fabric away while easing the zipper; never force it if resistance is felt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a pull-on garment, no assembly is required. For optimal care and to keep the polyester borg fabric soft, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using cool water. It is recommended to avoid heavy detergents or bleach, which can damage the fibers. Hang drying is preferred over tumble drying to preserve the integrity of the borg texture. If you choose to wear this as part of a layering system, it pairs exceptionally well with lightweight shell jackets, as the soft-touch fabric moves comfortably against other materials without creating excessive bulk.
