FAQs
What material is the Regatta Frankie Warm Full Zip Fleece made from?
It is made from cozy borg fleece, known for its superior insulation properties and soft, plush feel.
Is this fleece waterproof?
The description highlights its insulating properties for chilly weather, but does not specify if it is waterproof. Fleece materials are generally water-resistant but not fully waterproof; for wet conditions, an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended.
Are the pockets secure for children's items?
Yes, the fleece features zipped pockets, providing secure storage for small items like snacks, keys, or treasures found during adventures.
What are the reflective trims for?
The reflective trims are a key safety feature, designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, making your child more noticeable to others.
Is this fleece suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the Regatta Frankie Warm Full Zip Fleece is designed to be unisex, making it suitable for all children.
How should I wash this fleece to keep it in good condition?
For best results, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C / 86°F) and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not bleach or iron. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat.
Can this fleece be worn as a stand-alone jacket?
Yes, it can be worn as a stand-alone outer layer on mild, dry, chilly days. For colder or wet conditions, it works perfectly as an insulating mid-layer under a waterproof jacket.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft or has started to pill
Pilling can occur with fleece over time. To minimize it, always wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Air drying can also help preserve the fabric's texture. A fabric shaver can carefully remove existing pills.
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 path. For persistent stiffness, a small amount of zipper lubricant or even a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help it glide more smoothly.
Fleece doesn't seem warm enough
Check the fit; if it's too loose, cold air can easily penetrate. For colder conditions, ensure proper layering underneath. A thin, moisture-wicking base layer followed by the fleece and then a windproof/waterproof outer layer (if needed) will provide optimal warmth. Also, ensure the full zip is completely closed.

Setup: Using your Frankie Warm Full Zip Fleece is straightforward. Simply put it on like a regular jacket and use the full-length zipper to fasten it. Ensure the zipper is fully closed for maximum warmth. ## Compatibility: This fleece is designed to be unisex, suitable for both boys and girls. It is available in various kids' sizes (e.g., 3-4 years as per this specific product, with other sizes available). It can be comfortably layered over base layers or t-shirts and under waterproof outer shells for added protection. ## Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your borg fleece: 1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. 2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can diminish the fleece's insulating properties and cause pilling. 3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, lay flat to air dry. High heat can damage the fleece fibers. 4. Bleaching/Ironing: Do not bleach. Do not iron, as direct heat can melt or damage the fleece material. 5. Storage: Store in a dry, cool place.
