Regatta Frankie Fleece - Black

The Regatta Frankie Fleece is made from microfleece, which is a type of polyester fabric known for its softness, warmth, and lightweight properties.

While warm and comfortable, the Frankie Fleece is primarily designed for casual wear and light outdoor activities. It may not offer the high breathability or technical features required for strenuous hikes or extreme weather conditions.

The fleece is machine washable. It is recommended to wash it on a gentle cycle with similar colors and to tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid using fabric softeners.

This fleece is not waterproof. It offers warmth but will not protect you from rain. It is best worn as a layering piece under a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.

The description suggests a cosy and bulk-free feel, indicating a comfortable, relaxed fit that is not overly tight, making it suitable for layering.

While this guide focuses on the Black variant, other colors and printed patterns may be available from Regatta.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers. Tumble dry on a low setting with dryer balls or tennis balls to help restore softness.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out, use a gentle cycle, and avoid abrasion with rougher fabrics. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove existing pills.
