FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Frankie fleece?

The Regatta Frankie fleece is designed as a comfortable, lightweight layer for everyday wear and casual outdoor activities, providing warmth without excessive bulk.

Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?

While it provides lightweight insulation, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions on its own. For very cold weather, it functions well as a mid-layer beneath a warmer, more protective outer jacket.

How should I clean my Frankie fleece?

It is recommended to machine wash the fleece at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

Is this fleece suitable for hiking?

Yes, it is suitable for light hiking and walking, especially in moderate temperatures. Its breathability and freedom of movement make it a good choice for such activities.

What activities is this fleece *not* recommended for?

This fleece is primarily for casual and light outdoor use. It is not designed for extreme weather conditions or demanding technical outdoor pursuits where advanced waterproofing or heavy insulation might be required.

How does the half-zip feature benefit the wearer?

The half-zip neckline allows for easy adjustment of ventilation. You can zip it up for more warmth or unzip it to allow more airflow and prevent overheating during activity.

What material is the fleece made from?

The fleece is crafted from soft fleece fabric, designed to provide lightweight insulation and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears to have lost some loft or warmth.

Ensure the fleece is being washed according to care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying, which can damage the fleece fibers. Gentle care helps maintain its insulating properties.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Check the zipper track for any fabric snags. Gently pull any trapped material away. You can also try applying a small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.

Pilling or bobbling on the fleece surface.

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact with other items in the wash. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove existing pills.
