FAQs
What is the best way to clean the Regatta Frankie fleece?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Do not iron or bleach.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The fleece provides good warmth for its weight, making it ideal as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, layering with a base layer and an insulated or waterproof outer jacket is recommended.
Does the animal pattern vary between sizes?
The core animal pattern is consistent, but the exact placement might vary slightly due to the cut and size of the garment.
Can I wear this fleece for high-intensity activities?
While the raglan sleeves offer good mobility, the fleece is primarily designed for moderate activity and casual wear. For high-intensity activities, consider moisture-wicking base layers.
What material is the fleece made from?
The fleece is crafted from soft micro fleece, known for its warmth and comfort.
Are the pockets insulated?
The pockets are standard zipped pockets and are not specifically insulated, but they offer a place to keep hands warm in mild conditions.
How should I care for the zipper?
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it becomes stiff, gently rub a pencil lead (graphite) on the teeth for lubrication.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the fleece is clean; fabric softeners and heavy soiling can reduce insulation. Check for any damage or wear that might compromise warmth. Consider adding a more robust base layer or outer shell for colder conditions.
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 specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Pilling or matting of the fleece.
Pilling is natural for fleece over time. To minimize it, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid excessive friction. Use a fabric shaver carefully to remove minor pills.
Garment appears to have shrunk after washing.
Always follow the care instructions precisely. If shrinkage occurred, try gently stretching the damp garment back to its original shape while air drying.
