Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and durable mid-layer for outdoor activities or everyday wear. Its primary benefit is offering balanced warmth and comfort, with an added layer of protection from its poplin panels. A potential caveat is that its primary function is as a mid-layer, meaning additional outerwear may be necessary in harsher conditions. Key features include its soft microfleece construction, protective poplin panels, a convenient chest zip pocket, and a comfortable zip neck design.

FAQs
What is the primary use case for this fleece?
The Frankie Half Zip Fleece is designed as a versatile mid-layer for warmth and comfort during outdoor activities like walking, hiking, or casual travel, as well as for everyday wear.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the fleece itself is not waterproof. It is designed as a mid-layer and may require an additional waterproof outer shell for protection against rain.
What material is the fleece made from?
The main body is made from 70% polyester/30% polyester microfleece (210 gsm), and the panels are made from 63% polyester/37% polyester micro poplin with a PA coating (84 gsm).
How do I wash the fleece?
You can machine wash the fleece at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Does it have any pockets?
Yes, it features one zipped chest pocket for secure storage of small items.
What does 'half zip' mean?
A half zip refers to a zipper that extends only partway down the front of the garment, typically to the chest area, allowing for adjustable ventilation.
Is this suitable for very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, it provides good warmth. For very cold conditions, it should be layered effectively with a base layer and a warm, insulating outer jacket.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the fleece's texture. Follow the recommended drying method.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is still stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items like denim. Use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
