FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Fleece waterproof?
No, it is designed for warmth and insulation, not as a waterproof outer shell. It is best paired with a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
Can this be washed in a washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend following the care label instructions, typically a cool cycle without fabric softener.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean?
It means the fabric is treated and woven in a way that minimizes the formation of small balls of fiber (pills) on the surface after friction or washing.
Does the jacket come in different sizes?
Yes, the Frankie series is available in various children's sizes, including specific age brackets like 7-8 and 9-10 years.
Is the material stretchy?
The body of the jacket is standard fleece, but the cuffs and collar feature stretch binding to ensure a snug, comfortable fit.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The chest and side pockets are designed for small personal items like keys, coins, or small snacks. They may not fit larger modern smartphones securely.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Check for loose fabric caught in the teeth and gently pull away. You can rub a small amount of clear candle wax on the teeth to lubricate them.
Fleece feels less soft after many washes
Avoid fabric softeners. If possible, a gentle tumble dry on the lowest heat setting (no more than 5 minutes) can help 'fluff up' the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a ready-to-wear garment, there is no complex setup required. To ensure the longevity of the fleece and maintain its thermal performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (usually 30-40 degrees Celsius) to protect the integrity of the fibers.
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers of technical fleece and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can cause the polyester fabric to lose its shape or damage the anti-pilling finish.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar.
