Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Fleece is an ideal choice for men seeking a reliable mid-layer for outdoor activities, travel, or casual everyday wear. It offers exceptional warmth through its soft microfleece construction while featuring reinforced poplin panels for enhanced durability and weather protection, though the heavy-duty sizing may be quite generous for those preferring a slim fit.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Fleece waterproof?
No, the fleece is designed for warmth and insulation. It is not waterproof, though the poplin panels offer minor resistance to light mist.
Can I wear this under a waterproof rain jacket?
Yes, its low-profile microfleece design makes it an excellent mid-layer for wearing under hard-shell jackets.
How should I choose the right size?
Regatta sizes can be generous. If you plan to wear it primarily as a base layer, you may want to stick to your standard size, but for a looser, relaxed fit, sizing up is an option.
Does the material shrink after washing?
Polyester is generally resistant to shrinking if washed in cool water and not exposed to high heat in a tumble dryer.
What is the primary material used?
The garment is constructed primarily from high-quality, durable polyester.
Troubleshooting
Zipper sticking or becoming difficult to pull
Check for loose threads around the zipper track and ensure no fabric is caught. Apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant or graphite if the track remains stiff.
Pilling or small lint balls on the surface
Use a fabric shaver or a lint comb to carefully remove pilling; do not pull at the fabric as this can damage the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Frankie Fleece, follow standard garment care practices. Machine wash the fleece on a gentle cycle at 30-40 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the polyester fibers and reduce the wicking efficiency of the microfleece. When drying, it is recommended to air dry the garment on a hanger to maintain its structural integrity; avoid tumble drying, as excessive heat can cause the synthetic fibers to shrink or degrade. Ensure the zipper is closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items in the laundry.
