FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece provides excellent warmth due to its cosy borg fabric. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer in conjunction with a thermal base layer and a protective outer shell to maximise insulation and shield against wind.

Can I wear this fleece in the rain?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth, but it will absorb water in rainy conditions. We recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over it for protection in wet weather.

How do I choose the right size?

The fleece is designed for a snug fit due to its stretch binding. We recommend consulting the brand's official size guide for specific measurements to ensure the best fit.

What kind of activities is this fleece best for?

It's ideal for laid-back outdoor adventures such as walking, casual hikes, camping, or as a comfortable and stylish everyday layer for general use in cooler temperatures.

Will the fleece pill over time?

Like many fleece materials, some pilling can occur over time with wear and washing, especially in high-friction areas. Following the care instructions (washing gently, air drying) can help minimise this.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, the Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece features secure zipped pockets, perfect for keeping small essentials safe while you're out and about.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry, and avoid over-washing. Consider washing inside out to protect the outer surface.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appears on the surface

Pilling can occur with fleece over time due to friction. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or lint brush. Washing inside out can also help reduce pilling.

Zipper snags or gets stuck

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently wiggle the slider back and forth. If the zipper is stiff, a tiny amount of lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) can sometimes help.

Fleece doesn't feel warm enough

Consider your layering strategy. This fleece is ideal as a mid-layer; add a suitable base layer underneath and/or a windproof/waterproof outer layer over it for colder or windier conditions.

Item smells after storage

Ensure the fleece is completely dry before storing it. Wash according to care instructions, and store in a well-ventilated area to prevent mildew or musty odors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfort and Warmth: Made from soft borg fleece, providing excellent insulation and a cosy feel.
  • Stylish Design: Features a polished finish with stretch binding and flatlock stitching for a fashionable look.
  • Practical Storage: Equipped with secure zipped pockets to keep valuables safe.
  • Easy Temperature Control: The half-zip design allows for quick ventilation when needed.
  • Versatile Use: Perfect for layering or as a standalone piece for casual outings and light outdoor activities.

Cons

  • Limited Weather Protection: Not waterproof or windproof, offering limited protection against rain or strong winds as an outer layer.
  • Potential Bulk: Borg fleece can be bulkier than thinner fleece options, which might be a consideration for packing.
  • Specific Care Needed: Fleece garments often require gentle washing to maintain softness and prevent pilling.
  • Static Cling Potential: Fleece fabrics can sometimes generate static electricity, especially in dry conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply put on the fleece like a regular top. Adjust the half-zip to your comfort level for ventilation or warmth.

Compatibility

The Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece is designed for versatility:

  • Layering: Wear it over a base layer (e.g., a long-sleeve t-shirt) and under an outer shell (e.g., a waterproof jacket) for optimal warmth and weather protection.
  • Casual Wear: Easily pairs with various casual bottoms such as jeans, leggings, or casual trousers.
  • Activity: Suitable for low-to-moderate intensity activities where warmth and breathability are desired, such as walking, camping, or everyday use.

Care

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece, follow these general care guidelines:

  • Washing: Wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use cold or lukewarm water to prevent shrinking or damage to the fleece fibers.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the fleece's ability to wick moisture and trap warmth over time.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, lay flat to air dry. High heat can damage fleece fibers.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. Fleece material can melt or flatten under direct heat.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

> Info needed: Specific care instructions from the product label should always be followed for best results.
