Full details
The Regatta Frankie Full Zip women's fleece is designed for adult females seeking a warm, lightweight layer for everyday comfort. Its key benefit is providing cozy warmth without bulk, making it ideal for layering. A potential caveat is its primary function as a layering piece, not a standalone outerwear for harsh weather.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the Regatta Frankie Fleece?
The fleece is made from soft microfleece, which provides warmth and a comfortable feel.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Frankie fleece is a lightweight layer, best suited for mild to cool conditions or as part of a layered system in colder weather. It is not designed as a heavy-duty winter coat.
How should I clean the fleece?
It is machine washable at a low temperature (30-40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and high heat for drying.
Does the fleece have pockets?
Yes, it features zipped pockets for secure storage of small items.
Can this fleece be worn by men?
This specific model is designed as a women's fleece. Regatta may offer similar styles in men's fits.
What is the benefit of the stretch binding?
The stretch binding on the cuffs and hem helps to create a snug fit, preventing drafts and retaining body heat.
Can I iron the fleece?
No, ironing is not recommended for this type of fleece material as it can damage the fibers and alter the texture.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Tumble drying on a low setting can help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the zip is fully fastened before washing to prevent damage.
Fleece is not warm enough
This fleece is designed as a lightweight layer. For colder conditions, consider layering it over or under additional thermal garments or wearing a more substantial outerwear jacket.
