FAQs

What material is the Regatta Frankie fleece made of?

The fleece is crafted from 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester micro fleece, with a weight of 210 g/m².

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The Frankie fleece provides lightweight insulation, making it ideal for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece. For extreme cold, it should be combined with warmer layers.

How should I wash and care for the fleece?

Machine wash cool (30°C) with a mild detergent, do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, it features two zipped lower pockets for secure storage.

What is the main benefit of the half-zip design?

The half-zip neckline allows for easy ventilation and adjustable warmth, making it convenient to adapt to changing temperatures.

Is this fleece suitable for outdoor activities?

Yes, it is designed for everyday layering and is ideal for activities like walking, travel, and general outdoor pursuits.

What does 'STRETCH attachment' mean?

It refers to stretch binding or trim applied to the collar, center front opening, cuffs, and hem, providing a snugger fit and allowing for better movement.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers. Tumble dry on low heat to help restore softness.

Zipper is sticking.

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and slide the zipper up and down a few times.

Garment is not as warm as expected.

This fleece is designed for lightweight insulation. For colder conditions, layer it with additional thermal base layers or a warmer outer jacket.

Pilling on the fleece surface.

Pilling is natural for fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out and use a gentler wash cycle. A fabric shaver can carefully remove surface pills.
