FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Frankie fleece is made of polyester microfleece which is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It should be worn under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
Can I tumble dry this product?
It is recommended to air dry this fleece. High heat from tumble dryers can damage the fibers and the elastic binding.
What is the primary material?
The garment is primarily constructed from soft, insulating microfleece with polyester poplin panels for durability.
Does it have any pockets?
Yes, it includes a zipped chest pocket suitable for keeping small, essential items secure.
Is the fit true to size?
The Frankie Half Zip is designed for a standard fit, but keep in mind that as a mid-layer, it is intended to be worn over a base layer.
Troubleshooting
Fabric starting to pill
Wash the garment inside out and avoid mixing with rougher fabrics like denim in the laundry.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and gently run a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.
Static buildup
Avoid over-drying in a low-humidity environment and refrain from using high-heat settings in the dryer.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a pull-on garment, no assembly is required. To maintain the integrity of the microfleece, machine wash the fleece on a cool setting (typically 30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking properties and cause the fabric to mat. Always wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer. It is recommended to air dry the garment; avoid tumble drying on high heat as this can shrink the fabric or damage the elasticated binding on the cuffs and hem. For best fit, ensure you select your size based on standard layering preferences—if you plan to wear thick base layers underneath, consider how the fleece fits across the shoulders.
