Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Colour Block Full Zip Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and stylish mid-layer for casual wear and outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, thanks to its soft microfleece fabric. A potential caveat is that while it's designed for layering, its fit might be more relaxed, so checking sizing is advisable. This fleece features a modern colour block design, a full zip for easy ventilation, one zipped chest pocket, and two lower zipped pockets for secure storage. It is constructed from 100% polyester micro fleece fabric (210gsm) and includes stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem for a snug fit.

FAQs
What is the primary use case for this fleece?
The fleece is designed for casual wear and as a mid-layer for light outdoor activities, providing warmth without bulk.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It is suitable for moderate cold as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it would likely need to be worn under a heavier, insulated outer jacket.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and high heat for drying. Do not iron or dry clean.
Does the fleece have internal pockets?
No, this fleece features one zipped chest pocket and two lower zipped pockets, all on the exterior.
What material is the fleece made from?
It is made from 100% polyester microfleece fabric, weighing 210gsm.
Can I wear this fleece as my only layer in winter?
It is best suited as a mid-layer. In winter, you would typically wear it over a base layer and under a waterproof or insulated outer shell for adequate protection.
What does 'colour block' mean in the product name?
Colour block refers to the design feature where distinct areas of solid color are used in large panels on the garment, creating a modern, graphic look.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the microfleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Wash with a mild detergent and consider a low-heat tumble dry or air dry.
Zipper is sticking
Gently run a pencil lead (graphite) along the zipper teeth. Alternatively, a small amount of lip balm or wax can help lubricate the zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Pilling (small balls of fiber) on the surface
Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece fabric over time due to friction. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid excessive rubbing against rough surfaces.
