FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

The Frankie Borg fleece is designed for warmth and comfort, but it is not windproof. We recommend wearing it under a windproof shell if conditions are particularly blustery.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air dry the fleece. Excessive heat from a tumble dryer can damage the polyester fibers and the stretch binding on the cuffs and hem.

What does 'borg' fleece mean?

Borg fleece is a style of fabric known for its thick, wool-like, or shearling-like texture, providing excellent thermal insulation and a soft hand-feel.

Is this fleece suitable for vigorous exercise?

While it is breathable and lightweight, it is primarily intended for casual outdoor use. For high-intensity, sweaty activities, you may prefer a more technical, moisture-wicking active layer.

How should I store the fleece to keep it in good shape?

Store it hanging in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it under heavy items for long periods to maintain the integrity of the loft.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels matted or less soft after washing

Avoid fabric softeners in the future and consider a light brush with a soft-bristled garment brush once dry to restore the pile.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure no fabric is trapped in the zip track. You can rub a small amount of graphite or dry candle wax along the teeth to improve movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Soft, comfortable texture against the skin
  • Easy-to-use half-zip design for ventilation
  • Secure zipped chest pocket for valuables
  • Versatile style suitable for travel and hiking

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof
  • Requires careful washing to maintain fleece texture
  • Limited to mid-layer utility in extreme cold

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your fleece in peak condition, ensure you follow these guidelines:

  1. Care: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cool water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can mat the borg fleece fibers over time. Air dry whenever possible to preserve the structure of the stretch binding.
  2. Compatibility: This garment is designed as a mid-layer. It fits comfortably over base layers like long-sleeve synthetic tops and layers easily under heavier outer shells or rainproof parkas.
  3. Storage: Hang the garment when not in use to avoid permanent creasing, or fold neatly to keep the fleece pile from becoming flattened.
