Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Frankie Fleece is designed for women seeking a warm, comfortable, and versatile layering piece for everyday outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing lightweight insulation without bulk, making it ideal for walking, travel, and casual wear. A potential caveat is that it's primarily a layering piece and may not offer sufficient warmth as an outer layer in very cold conditions.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the Frankie Fleece?

The Frankie Fleece is primarily made from 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a weight of 210 g/m².

Is this fleece warm enough for winter?

The fleece provides lightweight insulation and is excellent for layering. For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer under a heavier, insulated outer jacket.

Can I wear this for intense physical activity?

It is suitable for moderate activities like walking or hiking. The half-zip allows for ventilation, but for very strenuous activities, you might prefer a more specialized technical fabric.

How do I clean the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble drying on high heat. Iron on a low setting if needed.

Does the fleece have adjustable features?

It features stretch trims at the collar, cuffs, and hem for a snug fit, and a half-zip for adjustable ventilation. It does not have drawcords.

What is the benefit of the stretch attachment?

The stretch attachment at key areas like the collar, cuffs, and hem ensures a comfortable, secure fit that moves with you and helps to keep drafts out.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the two lower pockets are zippered, providing secure storage for personal items.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels static clingy

Static can occur with fleece. Using a fabric softener during washing or a tumble dryer sheet during drying (on a low setting) can help reduce static.

Zipper is sticking

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Pilling or bobbling after washing

Some pilling is normal for fleece over time. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid overloading the washing machine. Consider using a laundry bag.

Item lost shape after washing

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Avoid high heat in the dryer and reshape while damp if needed.
