Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie women's half-zip fleece is designed for adult females seeking comfortable, lightweight insulation for everyday layering. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, making it ideal for walking, travel, and relaxed outdoor activities. A potential caveat is that while it offers lightweight insulation, it may not be sufficient for extremely cold weather on its own. This fleece is crafted from a soft, durable fabric blend, features a practical half-zip neckline, and includes two zipped lower pockets for convenient storage.

FAQs
What material is the Frankie fleece made from?
It is crafted from a blend of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester, with a weight of 210 g/m².
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Frankie fleece provides lightweight insulation, making it ideal for mild to cool conditions or as a mid-layer. For extremely cold weather, it's recommended to layer it with warmer insulation and a waterproof/windproof outer shell.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for women's UK dress sizes. Pay attention to measurements like chest and length for the best fit.
Can I wear this for active sports?
While suitable for light activities like walking, it's primarily designed for casual comfort and everyday layering. For high-intensity sports, specialized technical apparel may be more appropriate.
How should I wash the fleece?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat when drying. Do not iron or dry clean.
Does the fleece have many pockets?
Yes, it features two zipped lower pockets for secure storage of small items.
What does 'STRETCH attachment' mean?
This refers to elasticated binding on the collar, centre front opening, cuffs, and hem, which helps the fleece fit snugly and comfortably, preventing drafts.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fibers and reduce insulation. If softener was used, re-wash with a small amount of mild detergent without softener.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or lip balm can be applied to the zipper teeth to help it slide more smoothly.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface
Some pilling is normal with fleece over time. To minimize, wash the garment inside out and avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove pills.
