FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Frankie fleece is designed for warmth and breathability rather than windproofing.
Can I wear this while it is raining?
It is not waterproof. It is recommended to wear a waterproof shell over the fleece if you expect rain.
What is the best way to store the fleece?
Store it hanging on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape, or fold it neatly in a cool, dry place.
Does the material shrink in the dryer?
Polyester is generally resistant to shrinking, but we recommend air drying to preserve the life of the fabric and the zipper.
Is this fleece suitable for high-intensity exercise?
It is better suited for low to moderate intensity activities like walking or light hiking due to its insulating properties.
Troubleshooting
Static build-up in dry weather
Lightly mist the garment with water or use an anti-static spray on the inner surface.
Fleece appearing matted after washing
Once dry, gently brush the fabric with a soft-bristled garment brush to fluff the fibers back to their original loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a garment, setup is straightforward—simply pull the fleece over your head and use the half-zip to adjust the collar height to your preference. Regarding compatibility, this fleece pairs seamlessly with moisture-wicking synthetic base layers or cotton t-shirts. To maintain the integrity of the polyester fibers, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can degrade the insulating performance of technical fleece. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage or fiber damage.
