FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece provides cozy warmth for `laid-back outdoor adventures` and moderate conditions. For very cold or windy weather, we recommend using it as a mid-layer underneath a suitable insulated and/or windproof outer jacket.
How do I wash this fleece to maintain its quality?
Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors and a mild detergent. Air drying or low tumble dry heat is recommended to preserve softness and prevent damage.
Can I wear this fleece for active sports?
While comfortable, this fleece is primarily designed for warmth and `laid-back adventures`. For high-intensity sports, you might prefer a fleece with more advanced moisture-wicking properties and a closer fit for optimal performance.
Does this fleece have pockets?
Yes, the Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece features `zipped pockets` which are perfect for securely storing small essentials like keys or a phone.
What does 'borg fabric' mean?
'Borg fabric' refers to a type of fleece that mimics the appearance and feel of shearling or lamb's wool, offering a very soft, plush, and insulating texture with a high-pile finish.
Is the sizing true to fit?
> Info needed: While designed for a comfortable fit, for specific sizing guidance, please refer to the Regatta size chart usually available on the product page. Consider your typical clothing size and how you plan to layer it.
Troubleshooting
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. For persistent stiffness, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like wax or a graphite pencil lead) can be applied to the teeth.
Fleece feels less soft after washing.
This can happen if washed with harsh detergents or dried on too high heat. Always follow the garment's specific care label. Air drying or tumble drying on very low heat can help preserve softness. Avoid over-drying.
Pilling (small balls of fiber) appears on the fabric surface.
Pilling is common with some fleece types. To reduce it, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. A fabric shaver or pilling comb can be used to carefully remove existing pills.
Fleece doesn't feel warm enough in certain conditions.
This fleece is designed for `laid-back adventures` and moderate temperatures. For colder or windy conditions, ensure you are using it as part of a proper layering system with a windproof and/or waterproof outer shell.

Care

General fleece care tips:
- Washing: Machine wash with similar colors, ideally on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air drying is often best for fleece to prevent heat damage and maintain softness. If using a dryer, use a low heat setting.
- Pilling: To minimize pilling, wash inside out and avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces.
