Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Colour Block Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and stylish mid-layer for casual wear and outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is providing lightweight warmth without bulk, thanks to its 100% polyester microfleece fabric. A potential consideration is that its primary use is for layering, not as a primary waterproof or windproof outer shell. Key features include soft microfleece, a modern colour block design, one zipped chest pocket, and two lower zipped pockets.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Regatta Frankie Colour Block Fleece?
Its main purpose is to provide lightweight warmth as a comfortable layering piece for casual wear and light outdoor activities.
What material is the fleece made from?

How many pockets does the fleece have?

Is this fleece suitable for heavy rain or snow?
No, this fleece is not waterproof or windproof. It is designed for warmth and comfort in dry or mildly cool conditions, or as a layer under protective outerwear.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors, use mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer in winter?

What does 'colour block' mean in this context?

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff or rough.
Wash the fleece according to care instructions, preferably before the first wear. Using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softener can help maintain softness.
Zipper is difficult to open or close.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's still stiff, you can lightly lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a bit of wax.
Fleece is not warm enough.
This fleece is designed as a layering piece. For colder conditions, wear it over a warmer base layer or under a more substantial outer jacket.
Fleece shows signs of pilling.
Pilling is common with microfleece. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim.
