Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Kids' Frankie Warm Fleece is designed for children seeking comfortable warmth during cooler weather, ideal for everyday wear, school, or outdoor adventures. Its primary benefit is the cozy insulation provided by its borg fleece fabric, ensuring comfort when temperatures drop.

FAQs

Is this fleece suitable as an outer layer in wet weather?

The Frankie Warm Fleece is primarily designed as a mid-layer for insulation. While it offers some protection against light wind, it is not waterproof. For wet conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof outer jacket.

What is borg fleece?

Borg fleece is a type of synthetic fleece fabric known for its fuzzy, loop-back texture, similar to a sheep's fleece. It is highly effective at trapping heat and providing a soft, cozy feel.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta. The product details indicate this is a kids' size, suitable for ages 11-12 years, but it's always best to check measurements against the child's actual size.

Can this fleece be worn by both boys and girls?

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

How often should I wash the fleece?

Wash as needed, based on usage. For general wear, washing every few wears is sufficient. Follow the care instructions carefully to maintain the fabric's quality.

Will the color fade after washing?

To minimize color fading, wash the fleece inside out in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Washing with similar colors also helps.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

Ensure the fleece is not overly compacted in the washing machine. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Air dry thoroughly.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently pull the zipper tab up and down a few times. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.

Pilling or bobbling on the surface.

This is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact. You can carefully remove small pills with a fabric shaver.

Fleece feels itchy.

Ensure you are wearing a soft base layer underneath. Wash the fleece before first use to soften the fibers.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the softness and warmth of the fleece:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid direct heat sources which can damage the fleece.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
  4. Washing with Similar Colors: It is recommended to wash with colors of a similar shade to prevent color transfer, especially for the blue variant.
