Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Fleece is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking lightweight, reliable insulation during everyday adventures. This garment provides exceptional warmth through its soft borg fleece construction, making it perfect for layering during hikes, travel, or casual walks on cooler days. While it offers excellent thermal efficiency and a comfortable fit, users should note that the lightweight design is intended for layering rather than use as a heavy-duty weather shield in extreme, high-wind conditions.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Borg Fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is designed for insulation and is not waterproof. It should be worn under a rain jacket if wet weather is expected.
Does this fleece have pockets?
Yes, it features a convenient zipped chest pocket for secure storage.
Can I tumble dry this garment?
It is highly recommended to hang-dry the garment. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the material and cause shrinkage.
What is the best way to layer this item?
Wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath and, if the weather is windy or raining, add a waterproof outer shell over the top.
Is the fabric material heavy?
No, it is specifically designed to be lightweight while still providing effective thermal insulation.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than when new
This is often due to the pile becoming matted. Brush the fleece gently with a soft garment brush to restore the loft.
Zipper is sticking
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. You can lubricate the zipper teeth with a small amount of graphite from a pencil.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and highly packable for travel and hiking
- Soft texture provides immediate comfort in cold conditions
- Versatile layering piece that fits easily under waterproof shells

Cons
- Not windproof, so it requires an outer shell in gusty conditions
- Borg fleece material may require specific care to maintain loft
- Limited coverage compared to full-zip jacket styles
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Regatta Frankie Borg Fleece in peak condition, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the fleece fibers. Always hang to dry rather than using a high-heat dryer, which can cause the pile to mat or the synthetic fabric to shrink. For compatibility, this garment works best when paired with a breathable base layer underneath and a waterproof, windproof shell on top for rainy or stormy weather. Store it folded in a dry place to maintain the loft of the fleece.
