FAQs
What material is the fleece made from?
The Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece is crafted from cozy borg fabric, which is a type of polyester fleece.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
This fleece provides cozy warmth, making it ideal for mild to cool conditions as a standalone outer layer. For very cold weather, it functions excellently as a mid-layer under a more substantial jacket.
Can I machine wash this fleece?
Yes, generally fleece can be machine washed. However, always refer to the specific care label inside your garment for detailed instructions on water temperature and cycle settings to ensure its longevity and softness.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, the Regatta Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece features convenient zipped pockets, perfect for securely storing small essentials.
Is the fit true to size?
Regatta generally aims for consistent sizing. We recommend checking the size chart if available, and considering your usual sizing for outerwear. The stretch binding also helps provide a snug yet comfortable fit.
Is this fleece windproof or waterproof?
While the borg fabric provides warmth, this fleece is not designed to be windproof or waterproof. It offers some resistance to light breezes, but for windy or wet conditions, it's best worn as an insulating layer under a protective outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft or has pilling.
Ensure you are following the care instructions carefully. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat during drying. Washing inside out can also help prevent pilling. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can gently remove it.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. For stiffness, a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil can sometimes help, but avoid getting it on the fabric.
Fleece doesn't seem as warm as expected.
Consider wearing a suitable base layer underneath for optimal insulation. Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce its insulating properties. Check for any damage or thinning of the fabric.

General Fleece Care (always check label first):
- Washing: Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the wicking properties and cause pilling.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. High heat can damage fleece fibers.
- Bleach/Ironing: Do not bleach. Do not iron, as direct heat can melt the synthetic fibers.
- Pilling: To minimize pilling, wash inside out and avoid rough surfaces.
