Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Longline Fleece Top is an ideal layering garment for adults seeking extra warmth and comfort during cooler weather. Crafted from high-quality 280gsm borg fabric, this top offers a soft, pile-like texture that excels in insulation. While it is perfect for casual outdoor adventures or relaxing at home, potential buyers should note that the polyester material requires specific low-temperature laundry care to maintain its soft-touch finish.

FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, this is a 280gsm borg fleece designed for warmth, not as a waterproof shell. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.

Can I tumble dry this top?

It is highly recommended to air dry. Tumble drying can damage the synthetic pile fibers and affect the soft-touch finish.

What does 280gsm mean?

GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 280gsm rating indicates a medium-to-heavyweight fleece that provides excellent thermal insulation.

Does the sizing run large?

The Frankie Borg has a relaxed, drop-shoulder silhouette, but generally fits true to size for an adult female frame.

How do I remove lint or hair from the pile?

Use a lint roller or a piece of adhesive tape. Do not use a sharp comb, as it may snag the pile fabric.

Troubleshooting

The fleece texture feels matted or less soft after washing.

Avoid fabric softeners. Use a soft-bristle brush to gently fluff the pile after the garment has dried.

Zip feels stiff or sticks.

Ensure no fleece fibers are caught in the track. If it persists, run a pencil lead or a bar of soap along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and comfortable pile fabric
  • Versatile longline length for added warmth
  • Secure stretch binding keeps heat in
  • Half-zip allows for quick temperature regulation

Cons

  • Polyester material may pill if not washed correctly
  • Limited to casual style aesthetics
  • Requires specific care to maintain the 'soft-touch' feel

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a technical garment, proper maintenance is vital for longevity:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C or lower. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking and pile-softness properties of the fleece.
  • Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not tumble dry at high heat, as the synthetic fibers can melt or matte, ruining the signature 'borg' texture.
  • Compatibility: The longline cut is best suited for slim-fit base layers. Avoid bulky sweaters underneath, as the relaxed drop-shoulder cut is designed to fit comfortably over lighter clothing.
