Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Colour Block men's fleece is designed for adult males seeking comfortable, lightweight warmth for casual outdoor activities and everyday layering. Its primary benefit is providing significant warmth without bulk, thanks to its soft microfleece fabric. A potential consideration is that while it offers warmth, it is not designed as a primary waterproof outer layer. Key features include a stylish colour block design, a chest zip pocket, two lower zip pockets, and stretch binding for a secure fit.

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Air drying or low tumble drying is recommended over high heat.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Pilling or shedding of fabric.
Some minor pilling can occur with fleece over time. To minimize this, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid excessive friction during washing and drying.
