Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is an ideal choice for adult men seeking a reliable, versatile mid-layer for countryside excursions, travel, or casual everyday wear. It excels at providing soft microfleece warmth balanced by the added durability of poplin panels, though users should note that the polyester construction is designed primarily for layering rather than as a standalone waterproof outer shell.

FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Frankie fleece is designed for warmth and breathability. It is not waterproof and should be worn under a rain shell in wet conditions.
Can I wear this for winter hiking?
Yes, it is an excellent mid-layer for winter hiking, provided you have a windproof or waterproof layer over the top.
How should I wash the fleece to prevent pilling?
Wash it inside out on a low-temperature cycle and avoid heavy-duty washing cycles to reduce friction.
Does it have side pockets?
The Frankie Half Zip features a secure zipped chest pocket for smaller items; it does not include traditional side hand-warmer pockets.
Will the XXL size fit loosely?
The garment is designed for an active fit, but the stretch binding helps accommodate different body shapes comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes
Avoid fabric softeners in the wash and consider a short tumble on the lowest heat setting to 'fluff' the fibers.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip track and apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant or wax to the teeth if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta fleece maintains its thermal properties and aesthetic, machine wash it on a cool cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the polyester fibers and inhibit the moisture-wicking capabilities of the fleece. For the best results, allow the garment to air dry on a hanger; the stretch binding at the cuffs and hem will retain its shape better without the high heat of a tumble dryer. This fleece is fully compatible with standard rain jackets and hardshell coats as a thermal mid-layer.
