The Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece Jacket is an ideal mid-layer for adult men seeking reliable warmth and versatility during outdoor activities or casual daily wear. Crafted from a 210gsm blend of polyester and recycled polyester, this microfleece jacket offers excellent thermal retention and comfort, though users should note that as a fleece, it is not inherently waterproof and performs best under a shell in heavy rain.

No, this jacket is made of polyester microfleece and is not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell during rainy conditions.
It is recommended to hang dry this garment. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the microfleece fibers and affect the stretch binding.
The zippered chest pockets are designed for smaller essentials. While most standard smartphones fit, larger 'plus' size models may not be compatible.
While the fleece offers some protection against light breezes, it is a breathable fabric. It is not windproof and should be layered if wind chill is a significant factor.
Store the jacket on a hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and to keep the fleece pile from becoming compressed.
Check for loose threads around the zipper teeth and ensure the fabric is clear. If it remains stiff, lightly run a graphite pencil lead over the teeth to lubricate them.
This is common after multiple washes. Gently brush the surface with a soft-bristled garment brush to lift the pile and restore the loft of the fleece.
To maintain the integrity of the microfleece fabric, machine wash the garment on a cool cycle (30°C or lower) with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the jacket's moisture-wicking and thermal performance. It is recommended to hang dry the garment to prevent potential shrinkage and to preserve the elastic integrity of the cuffs and hem binding. Because of its low-bulk profile, this jacket is highly compatible with most standard waterproof jackets or parkas. When zipping, ensure no inner garments are caught in the track to prolong the life of the zipper hardware.
