Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece - Skyway Blue - Size: 8

Microfleece is a synthetic polyester fabric known for being very soft, lightweight, and warm. It's used because it provides good insulation without adding bulk, making it comfortable for layering and everyday wear.

No, the Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and comfort, and while it may offer some resistance to light moisture, it is not suitable for use in heavy rain. A separate waterproof outer layer is recommended for wet conditions.

This fleece is excellent for providing warmth on cool days. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer, worn over a warm base layer and underneath a more insulated or windproof outer jacket.

Refer to the Regatta sizing guide for women's apparel. The description mentions this is a UK size 8, so compare your measurements to the provided chart to ensure a good fit. The stretch binding should help accommodate minor size variations.

The fleece features zipped pockets designed for secure storage. While pocket depth can vary, they are generally suitable for carrying essentials like a standard-sized smartphone, keys, or a wallet.

Store the fleece folded or rolled in a dry place. Avoid storing it under heavy items that could compress the material for long periods, which could affect its loft and softness over time.

Avoid using fabric softeners. Wash at a lower temperature and consider air drying instead of high-heat tumble drying.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. You can also use a pencil graphite or a small amount of wax on the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Some pilling is normal with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid over-washing. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove existing pills.
