Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is an ideal choice for men seeking a reliable, warm mid-layer for outdoor activities like countryside walks or casual everyday wear. Constructed from soft microfleece and reinforced with durable poplin panels, it offers excellent thermal insulation and protection against light wear and tear; however, users should note that the polyester composition is designed primarily for layering rather than as a heavy-duty waterproof outer shell.

FAQs
Is the fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Frankie is made of microfleece and is not waterproof. It is intended to be used as an insulating mid-layer.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the fleece to prevent damage to the synthetic fibers and stretch binding. If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting.
Is this fleece suitable for high-intensity exercise?
It is better suited for moderate activity like walking or casual use; for high-intensity sports, the material may retain too much heat.
How do I determine the right size?
The Frankie is available in various sizes; refer to the Regatta size guide and note that this is an adult male fit intended for layering.
Are the poplin panels breathable?
The poplin panels are designed primarily for durability and wind resistance rather than high-performance breathability.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently rub a candle or graphite pencil along the teeth to lubricate them.
Pilling on fleece surface
Use a fabric shaver or lint roller after washing to gently remove surface fuzz, which is a natural occurrence in soft synthetic fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your fleece in optimal condition, machine wash it in cool water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their thermal efficiency. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and performance of the stretch bindings. Ensure the zip is fully closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items. This garment is highly compatible with standard waterproof outer jackets and casual base layers, making it a foundational piece for your cold-weather wardrobe.
