Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Fleece is designed for men who prioritize comfort and reliable insulation during casual outdoor activities, travel, or everyday wear. Crafted from a soft, high-loft borg fabric, it excels at providing core warmth while remaining easy to layer under jackets on particularly cold days. While it offers excellent thermal properties and a relaxed fit, it is important to note that the fleece is intended for casual use rather than technical performance in extreme or wet weather conditions.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Borg fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is made for warmth and is not waterproof. It should be worn under a waterproof shell in rainy conditions.
Can I wear this as a primary winter jacket?
It serves as an excellent mid-layer, but for deep winter temperatures, it should be paired with a windproof or insulated outer jacket.
How should I store the fleece during warmer months?
Store it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
Does the fleece shrink after washing?
If washed and dried according to the care label (cold wash, air dry), the fleece is designed to maintain its shape.
Is the fabric heavy?
While it provides significant warmth, the borg fleece is surprisingly lightweight, making it ideal for travel.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the zipped pockets are designed to securely hold standard-sized smartphones and everyday carry items.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
Pilling is common with synthetic fleeces. Gently remove small pills with a fabric shaver or a specialized sweater comb.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If the zip is clean but still stiff, a small amount of paraffin wax applied to the teeth can improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Frankie Borg Fleece remains in optimal condition, machine wash it on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized structure of the borg fleece. Always zip the pockets before washing to prevent the zipper sliders from catching on the fabric. Hang the garment to dry naturally; avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause the fleece to matte or shrink over time. The fleece is highly compatible with most standard casual jackets and vests due to its non-bulky but insulating profile.
