FAQs

What age group is this fleece designed for?

This specific product listing is for kids aged 9-10 years. Other sizes are available for different age groups.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Regatta Frankie Fleece is made from polyester and is water-resistant rather than waterproof. It's designed for warmth and comfort, and may require a waterproof outer layer in heavy rain.

How warm is the fleece?

The fleece is made from 170gsm Symmetry fleece, which provides good insulation for moderate weather conditions and serves as an effective mid-layer for colder temperatures.

Can this fleece be worn by boys and girls?

Yes, the design is unisex and suitable for both boys and girls.

How many pockets does it have?

It features three zipped pockets: two lower pockets for hands and one zipped chest pocket.

What is the 'anti-pill' feature?

The anti-pill feature means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the fleece maintain a smoother appearance after washing and wear.

How should I care for the fleece to make it last?

Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and do not iron or dry clean. Following these guidelines will help preserve the fleece's softness and durability.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears to have shrunk after washing

Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely. Wash at 40°C and avoid high heat drying. Air drying is often the safest method.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free the fabric. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a dry lubricant to the zipper teeth to help it slide smoothly.

Fleece material feels less soft than before

The anti-pill finish helps maintain softness, but frequent washing can affect texture. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes reduce fleece's loft.
