Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece - Cream - S

The Regatta Frankie Fleece is primarily designed as a warm and comfortable mid-layer for adult males, suitable for a range of activities from countryside walks to everyday casual wear.

It is made from a combination of soft microfleece (70% polyester/30% polyester, 210 gsm) and tough micro poplin panels (63% polyester/37% polyester with PA coating, 84 gsm) for added protection.

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

While the poplin panels offer some protection, this fleece is best used as a mid-layer. It is not waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy rain or harsh weather conditions. Consider wearing a waterproof outer shell over it.

A 'half zip' refers to a zipper that extends approximately halfway down the front of the garment, typically from the collar to the chest, allowing for adjustable ventilation.

The fleece features one zipped chest pocket for secure storage of small items.

It provides good warmth as a mid-layer, but for very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it under a more insulated or windproof outer jacket.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Air drying or low heat tumble drying is recommended to preserve the fabric's loft.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

This may indicate excessive heat during washing or drying. Ensure you are following the low-heat care instructions strictly. For minor peeling, continued gentle care may prevent further issues. Significant damage may not be repairable.
