Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Frankie Borg is a stylish, longline fleece top designed for adult women seeking warmth and comfort during cooler weather. Crafted from high-quality 280gsm borg fabric, it offers a soft-touch, cozy fit perfect for casual layering; however, its longline design and substantial weight make it less suitable for high-intensity aerobic activities where breathability is the primary concern.

FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Regatta Frankie Borg is designed for warmth and insulation, not as a waterproof outer shell.

Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?

While you can layer it, its substantial weight and volume mean it is best worn as an outer layer or under a loose-fitting shell jacket.

What is 280gsm fabric?

GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 280gsm rating indicates a medium-to-heavy weight fleece that offers substantial warmth.

Does the size 18 UK fit true to size?

The design is intended to have a relaxed, casual silhouette, which typically aligns with standard UK sizing for that fit.

Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?

The side pockets are designed for everyday essentials; while they hold most items securely, they are intended for convenience rather than heavy-duty storage.

Troubleshooting

Fabric pile feels less soft after multiple washes

Avoid fabric softeners and use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent; you can lightly shake the garment once dry to help fluff the pile.

Static buildup in dry conditions

Using a small amount of anti-static spray or washing with a small amount of white vinegar (in place of fabric softener) can help reduce static.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention due to the thick 280gsm material
  • Soft, comfortable pile texture
  • Relaxed fit with a stylish longline cut
  • Durable construction with flatlock stitching

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity exercise
  • May be too bulky for tight-fitting mid-layer use under slim jackets
  • Polyester fabric requires specific laundry care to maintain pile softness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Regatta Frankie Borg in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can flatten the fibers and diminish the warmth and soft feel of the borg pile.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not tumble dry, as the high heat can damage the synthetic fibers and lead to shrinkage.
  3. Storage: Hang the garment on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape, or fold it neatly to prevent the fabric from becoming compressed for long periods.
  4. Compatibility: This piece pairs excellently with thermal base layers for added warmth or can be worn over standard cotton t-shirts for casual daily wear.
