Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece - Blue - M

The main body is made from a soft microfleece, consisting of 70% polyester and 30% polyester (210 gsm). It also features durable micro poplin panels (63% polyester/37% polyester, 84 gsm) with a PA coating.

No, the fleece itself is not waterproof. The poplin panels offer some water resistance, but it is designed primarily for warmth and is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof or water-resistant outer shell in wet conditions.

The fleece features three zipped pockets: two lower hand pockets and one chest pocket.

Yes, the microfleece is soft and comfortable, making it suitable for direct skin contact. However, many users prefer wearing a base layer underneath for added comfort and moisture management during physical activity.

This fleece is ideal for everyday warmth, casual wear, countryside walks, and as a mid-layer for hiking, camping, or other outdoor activities in cool or cold weather.

Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on low heat. Avoid dry cleaning.

The stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem helps to provide a snug fit, preventing drafts from entering and retaining body heat effectively.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Ensure the care instructions were followed precisely. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat as recommended.

Check if the garment is caught on anything sharp. Minor fraying can sometimes be carefully trimmed with scissors. If significant fraying occurs, it may indicate a manufacturing defect.
