FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, it is designed for warmth and breathability. It is not waterproof, so you should wear a rain jacket over it in inclement weather.
Can I machine wash this garment?
Yes, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners and high-heat drying.
What is the primary material used?
It is crafted from soft, durable polyester microfleece with additional polyester poplin panels.
Does the chest pocket fit a smartphone?
Yes, the zipped chest pocket is sized to accommodate most standard-sized smartphones comfortably.
How does the size run?
The Frankie Fleece is designed as a standard active fit. If you plan to layer thick garments underneath, you may consider sizing up.
Is this fleece suitable for winter sports?
It works as an excellent mid-layer for winter sports, provided it is paired with proper thermal base layers and an insulated, waterproof outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Static electricity build-up
Add a small amount of vinegar to the rinse cycle or ensure the garment is not over-dried in a tumble dryer.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Use a fabric shaver or a garment brush to gently remove small lint balls caused by regular friction.
Zipper feels stiff
Clear any lint from the teeth and apply a small amount of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil to lubricate the track.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Soft, comfortable material that excels at moisture management

- Lightweight construction prevents overheating during active movement
- Secure chest pocket keeps small valuables accessible

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a pullover garment, the primary setup involves choosing the correct layering system. For the best performance, wear this over a moisture-wicking base layer to manage sweat, and under a waterproof shell if you are venturing into wet weather. To maintain the integrity of the microfleece, always wash in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and reduce the fleece's breathability. For drying, it is best to hang-dry or use a very low heat tumble dry setting, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers and shrink the stretch bindings.
