FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece top?
The Regatta Frankie Fleece Top is designed as a versatile mid-layer to provide warmth and comfort, suitable for outdoor activities and casual wear.
Is this top suitable for very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, it offers good insulation. For very cold conditions, it's recommended to layer it under a windproof or waterproof outer jacket for full protection.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
It is recommended to check the specific Regatta size guide provided with the product listing. Measure your chest, waist, and hips and compare them to the chart for the best fit.
Can this fleece top be worn by men?
This particular model is designed with a women's fit. Regatta may offer similar fleece styles in their men's collection.
What does '210gsm' mean?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter,' which is a measure of fabric density and weight. A 210gsm fleece is considered a mid-weight, offering a good balance of warmth and breathability.
How does the zipped chest pocket function?
The pocket is designed to securely hold small personal items. The zipper ensures that contents are kept safe and do not fall out during activity.
Is it machine washable?
Yes, the fleece top is machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Fleece material feels less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the microfleece texture. Wash at a lower temperature and consider air drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Garment feels too tight or too loose.
Consult the Regatta size chart for accurate measurements before purchasing. If already owned, consider layering options to adjust fit.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface.
This is a common occurrence with fleece. Reduce pilling by washing inside out and avoiding abrasion with rough materials. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove pills.
