Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece - Black - L

The Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece is designed to provide everyday warmth and comfort, primarily as a layering piece for cooler weather conditions.

It is crafted from 70% polyester/30% polyester microfleece (210 gsm) and 63% polyester/37% polyester micro poplin with a PA coating (84 gsm).

While the poplin panels offer some protection, this fleece is not designed to be waterproof. It functions best as an insulating layer, and for rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

Yes, it features two secure zipped lower pockets and one zipped chest pocket, ideal for keeping valuables safe.

It's recommended to machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting if needed. Avoid dry cleaning.

It provides good warmth for everyday use and cooler temperatures. For extreme cold, it is best utilized as a mid-layer beneath a more substantial insulated or waterproof jacket.

Stretch binding refers to elasticated edging material used on the collar, cuffs, and hem. This provides a snug fit that helps keep the cold out and ensures the garment stays comfortably in place.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check if the stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem is snagged. The garment is designed for a snug fit; consider layering over thinner base layers.

Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully. Wash inside out, use a gentle cycle, and avoid high heat in the dryer. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to realign the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.
