Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece is designed for adult males seeking everyday warmth and comfort, particularly for outdoor activities or as a reliable layering piece. Its key benefit is providing immediate insulation through its soft microfleece construction, with the caveat that the poplin panels offer some protection but are not a substitute for waterproof outerwear. This fleece features a full zip, multiple pockets, and stretch binding for a comfortable fit, making it suitable for countryside walks and weekend adventures.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the Regatta Frankie Fleece?

The primary material is a soft microfleece, composed of 70% polyester and 30% polyester (210 gsm). It also features durable micro poplin panels.

Is this fleece suitable for rainy weather?

No, the fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and comfort in dry conditions or as a layer under a waterproof jacket.

How many pockets does this fleece have, and are they zipped?

Yes, the fleece has three zipped pockets: two lower hand pockets and one chest pocket.

Can I wear this fleece as a base layer?

While comfortable, it is generally better suited as a mid-layer due to its insulating properties. A lighter base layer would be more appropriate for high-exertion activities.

What sizes and colors are available?

This guide focuses on the Black XL variant. Other sizes and colors may be available from Regatta, check product listings for a full range.

How should I clean the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Do not iron.

What does 'gsm' stand for in relation to the fabric?

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A higher GSM value, like 210 gsm for the microfleece, typically indicates a denser and warmer fabric.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fibers and reduce their ability to trap air. If softener was used, re-wash with a small amount of white vinegar to help remove residue.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to help it glide smoothly.

Pilling or excessive fuzz on the surface

Some pilling is normal with fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid abrasive contact with other items in the wash. Gently remove any significant pills with a fabric shaver.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This fleece is designed as an adult male garment and functions best when layered with other clothing. It is compatible with various outdoor jackets and base layers.

Care Instructions: To maintain the fleece's warmth and longevity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's insulating properties.
  3. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron.
