FAQs

What is microfleece?

Microfleece is a lightweight, soft, synthetic polyester fabric that provides excellent warmth without much weight. It's known for its cozy feel and breathability.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Regatta Frankie Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and comfort in dry conditions and can be layered under a waterproof jacket if needed.

How should I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Since it's designed for layering, consider if you prefer a snug fit or a looser fit over other garments.

Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?

While it provides good warmth for its weight, it is best suited for mild to cool temperatures or as a layering piece in colder weather. For very cold conditions, you would need to wear it under a heavier, insulated jacket.

How do I care for the zipped pockets?

Ensure items placed in the zipped pockets are not sharp or excessively bulky, which could stress the zipper. Close the zippers fully when storing items to prevent them from falling out.

What does 'stretch binding' mean?

Stretch binding refers to elasticated trim used on the edges, such as cuffs and hem. It helps to create a snug fit, preventing drafts and keeping the garment in place.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can coat the microfleece fibers and reduce their insulating ability. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before storing.

Zipper is sticking

Gently try to wiggle the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth, then move the zipper back and forth to smooth operation.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Pilling is a common occurrence with microfleece. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out in a gentle cycle and avoid overcrowding the washing machine. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills if they become noticeable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides significant warmth for its lightweight design.
  • Soft microfleece material offers excellent comfort.
  • Full zip allows for easy temperature regulation.
  • Secure zipped pockets are practical for carrying small items.
  • Stylish design suitable for casual everyday wear.
  • Easy to layer over other clothing for added warmth.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough on its own in very cold weather.
  • Microfleece can sometimes pill over time with frequent washing.
  • Limited water resistance; not suitable for rain or heavy snow.
  • Bulk-free design means it's less insulating than heavier jackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required for this fleece; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This fleece is designed as an outerwear garment for women and is compatible with most casual lower garments such as jeans, trousers, or leggings. It functions well as a layer under a waterproof or insulated jacket in colder or wetter conditions.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's loft and insulating properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry flat. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The material is not meant to be ironed and high heat can damage the fibers.
