Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Fleece is an essential mid-layer designed for adult men who need reliable warmth and durability during outdoor activities, travel, or casual everyday wear. Combining a soft, insulating microfleece base with rugged poplin panels for added protection, this garment provides excellent comfort in shifting weather; however, as it is a pull-over style with a half-zip, it may be slightly more restrictive to remove than a full-zip jacket.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is designed for thermal insulation and is not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer jacket.
Can I machine wash this fleece?
Yes, you can machine wash it at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Always check the care label on your specific garment.
What material is the fleece made of?
The main body is constructed from soft polyester microfleece, with durable poplin panels added for extra protection.
Is the fit true to size?
The fleece is designed for a standard fit suitable for layering. If you plan on wearing thick base layers underneath, you may prefer your standard size or slightly larger.
Does it have any pockets?
The Frankie fleece is primarily designed for minimalism and layering; check the specific product variant for pocket configurations.
Troubleshooting
Static buildup in the fleece
Wash with a fabric softener or use a tumble dryer sheet on a low-heat air-dry cycle.
Pilling on the surface after extensive use
Use a fabric shaver or a de-pilling tool to gently remove surface fibers without damaging the integrity of the material.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track; clean any debris from the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
- Reinforced panels improve overall durability
- Soft texture ensures long-term comfort

- Versatile for both trail and casual settings
Cons
- Half-zip design is harder to take off than full-zip styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Frankie Fleece does not require any specific setup; simply wear it as your primary insulating layer. For optimal performance, pair it with a moisture-wicking base layer to manage perspiration and a waterproof shell in heavy rain, as the fleece itself is designed for warmth rather than weatherproofing.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C to preserve the microfleece texture.
- Do not use bleach or aggressive detergents.
- Avoid tumble drying to prevent fabric damage or shrinkage; air dry flat whenever possible.
- Do not iron the poplin panels, as the material may be sensitive to high heat.
