FAQs

What material is the Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece made from?

It is crafted from soft and cosy borg fleece fabric, designed to provide warmth and comfort.

Is this fleece suitable for all seasons?

It is ideal for cooler weather and transitional seasons (spring and autumn) as a standalone outer layer, or as a warm mid-layer during colder winter months. It is not designed for hot weather.

Does the fleece have pockets?

Yes, it features convenient zipped pockets to keep your essentials secure while on the go.

How should I wash my Frankie Borg Fleece?

It's best to machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and similar colours. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning to maintain its quality. Always check the garment's care label.

Can I wear this fleece for strenuous outdoor activities?

While suitable for light outdoor activities like walking or casual hikes, it is not designed for highly strenuous activities or as technical performance wear in extreme conditions. Its primary focus is warmth, comfort, and style.

What does 'stretch binding' mean?

Stretch binding refers to elasticated fabric trim used at the cuffs and hem. This provides a snug, comfortable fit that helps seal in warmth and gives the fleece a neat, polished look.

Is this fleece windproof or waterproof?

No, the Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece is not designed to be windproof or waterproof. For protection against wind and rain, it should be worn as an insulating layer under a suitable outer shell.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft or fluffy after washing.

Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding fabric softeners. Air drying or tumble drying on very low heat can help maintain the fabric's loft. Avoid harsh detergents.

Zipper feels stiff or sticky.

If the zipper is new, it may loosen with use. For persistent stiffness, try rubbing a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the mechanism.

Not providing enough warmth in very cold conditions.

This fleece is primarily a mid-layer. For very cold weather, ensure you are wearing a suitable base layer underneath and an insulated, weather-resistant outer shell over the fleece. Layering is key to adapting to colder temperatures.

Pilling (small balls of fibre) appearing on the surface.

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid washing with rougher fabrics like denim. Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to gently remove existing pills.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth and comfort due to soft borg fleece material.
  • Versatile half-zip design allows for easy temperature regulation and layering.
  • Stylish appearance suitable for casual wear and outdoor adventures.
  • Practical zipped pockets provide secure storage for essentials.
  • Durable construction with flatlock stitching for long-lasting wear.

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof, limiting its effectiveness as a primary outer layer in harsh weather.
  • May not provide sufficient warmth for extreme cold conditions without additional layering.
  • > Info needed: [Potential for pilling with extensive friction or improper care]
  • The fit, while snug due to stretch binding, might feel too close for those preferring a very loose garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started

Your Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply put it on and adjust the half-zip to your comfort.

Compatibility

  • Layering: This fleece is designed to be highly compatible with various wardrobe items. Wear it over t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, or thermal base layers. It layers smoothly under jackets, coats, and gilets for added insulation.
  • Activities: Ideal for casual wear, dog walking, gentle hikes, camping trips, and general outdoor leisure.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the softness, warmth, and appearance of your fleece.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colours. Use a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the fleece's breathability and wicking properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry flat to preserve the fabric's loft and shape. Avoid direct heat.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  6. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

> Info needed: [Always check the care label inside your garment for specific, up-to-date instructions.]
