The Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip fleece is designed for adult men seeking a reliable, lightweight insulating layer for everyday outdoor activities such as walking, travel, and casual wear. Its core benefit lies in the soft, high-pile borg fleece fabric that offers exceptional warmth without excess weight; however, users should note that the material is not windproof and functions best as a mid-layer rather than a standalone outer shell in harsh conditions.

No, this fleece is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is designed for thermal insulation and should be worn under a waterproof layer in rainy conditions.
It is intended as a mid-layer. While it provides good warmth, it will not block cold winds and is best paired with a windproof or waterproof outer shell.
The Frankie Borg fleece is cut to a standard adult fit. It is recommended to choose your typical size if you intend to wear it over a thin base layer, or size up if you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath.
This specific model features a single zipped chest pocket, but does not include traditional side hand-warmer pockets.
Yes, the fleece fabric is naturally breathable, allowing moisture to escape during light physical activity, which helps regulate your temperature.
Because it is a synthetic insulating layer, it may become too warm during high-intensity sports; it is best suited for walking, hiking, or casual lifestyle wear.
Ensure no loose threads are trapped in the track; rub a small amount of paraffin wax or a graphite pencil along the teeth to lubricate.
After washing and drying, gently brush the fleece with a soft plastic-bristled brush to lift the pile and restore its original fluffy texture.
Use a dedicated fabric shaver or carefully remove surface lint with a sweater comb to rejuvenate the appearance of the material.
The Regatta Frankie Borg fleece is ready to wear immediately. Due to its minimalist design, it is compatible with almost any base layer, such as a thermal top, or as a layer beneath a waterproof jacket or parka. To maintain the integrity of the borg fleece fibers, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the synthetic fibers and reduce their insulating performance. For best results, hang dry in a well-ventilated area rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, which can cause the fleece to mat or lose its loft over time.
