Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is an essential mid-layer designed for adult men who need reliable warmth and durability during outdoor excursions or casual daily wear. Crafted from soft microfleece with reinforced poplin panels, it provides excellent thermal retention and protection against the elements. While it is highly versatile for countryside walks and travel, users should note that the polyester material is not waterproof, making it better suited as a layering piece rather than a primary outer shell in heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the microfleece material is breathable rather than windproof. It works best when layered under a windproof or waterproof shell.
Can I tumble dry this item?
It is recommended to air dry the fleece to prevent shrinkage and maintain the elasticity of the stretch binding.
What is the primary material used?
The garment is primarily made from soft polyester microfleece with additional poplin panels.
Does it have side pockets?
The Frankie Half Zip features a secure zipped chest pocket for smaller items; it does not include standard side hand pockets.
How should I choose the right size?
The fit is regular. If you plan to wear thick base layers underneath, you may consider sizing up for optimal comfort.
Troubleshooting
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface
Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface lint without pulling on the microfleece fibers.
Zipper sticking or becoming difficult to slide
Clear any debris from the zipper teeth and rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil along the teeth to act as a lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the microfleece and poplin panels, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle at 30°C using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can diminish the technical properties of the synthetic fibers. Hang-dry the fleece away from direct heat sources to prevent the stretch binding from losing its elasticity. For sizing, this garment follows standard regular fit protocols; choosing your usual size will allow sufficient room for a base layer underneath without adding unnecessary bulk.
