FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece?

The Regatta Frankie Half Zip fleece is designed for warmth and comfort during everyday activities and mild weather conditions. It functions well as a mid-layer or a standalone piece.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

While it provides good warmth, it is best suited for mild to cool temperatures or as a layer under a more substantial outer jacket for colder conditions. It may not be sufficient on its own for extreme cold.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the sizing guide available from the retailer. The garment features a curved hem and stretch binding for a secure fit, but checking measurements against the provided chart is recommended.

Can I put this fleece in the washing machine?

Yes, the fleece can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying.

What are the benefits of the raglan sleeves?

Raglan sleeves are cut to run diagonally from the underarm to the neckline, providing a greater range of motion and flexibility compared to traditional set-in sleeves.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the fleece features zipped pockets, which provide secure storage for your essentials like keys, a phone, or cards.

What material is the fleece made from?

The fleece is crafted from soft micro fleece, which is known for its warmth and comfortable feel.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

Fabric softeners can coat fleece fibers and reduce insulation. Ensure you are not using fabric softener and try washing again with a mild detergent only.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip or a tiny bit of wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Pilling of the fleece material.

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills. Wash less frequently and on a delicate cycle to minimize future pilling.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The Regatta Frankie Half Zip fleece is designed as women's apparel and pairs well with a variety of casual bottoms like jeans, leggings, or hiking trousers. It can be layered over t-shirts or base layers and under waterproof jackets or heavier coats.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness and breathability of fleece.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fleece fibers.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. If creases appear, hang the garment in a steamy bathroom or use a cool iron on the reverse side with a protective cloth.
  5. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
