FAQs
What is the primary material of the Regatta Frankie Fleece?
The fleece is made from 100% polyester Symmetry fleece, which is brushed inside for comfort and treated to be anti-pill on the outside.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Frankie Fleece is an excellent mid-layer for warmth. For very cold conditions, it's recommended to wear it under a waterproof or insulated outer jacket.
How do I wash the fleece?
The fleece is machine washable. It's best to wash it with similar colors using a mild detergent and tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Does the fleece have pockets?
This specific product description does not mention pockets. It features a half-zip and a funnel neck.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
Anti-pill means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, keeping the garment looking newer for longer.
Can this fleece be worn by girls?
While listed as 'Male' in some attributes, the design of the Regatta Frankie Fleece is a classic half-zip style that is generally suitable and comfortable for unisex wear.
What are the benefits of the half-zip design?
The half-zip allows for easy adjustment of ventilation, helping to regulate body temperature during physical activity or when moving between different environments.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have avoided harsh bleach or fabric softeners, which can affect fleece texture. Air drying or low heat tumble drying is recommended.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth can help smooth operation.
Shrinkage after washing
Avoid high heat in washing and drying cycles. Always follow the care label instructions, which recommend machine washing and tumble drying on low heat.
