FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Symmetry fleece material?
The Symmetry fleece material is designed to be soft, warm, and resistant to bobbling, ensuring it stays comfortable and looks good even after multiple wears and washes.
Can this fleece be worn in the rain?
The fleece itself is not waterproof. It provides warmth but will absorb water. For rainy conditions, it should be worn as a layer underneath a waterproof outer jacket.
How should I wash the Regatta Frankie Fleece?
The fleece is machine washable. It is recommended to wash it on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) with a mild detergent, and avoid using fabric softener or bleach.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The fleece provides good warmth but is best suited for mild to cool temperatures on its own. For very cold weather, it functions effectively as a mid-layer beneath a thicker, insulated, or waterproof coat.
What sizes are available for the Regatta Frankie Fleece?
The Regatta Frankie Fleece is available in various kids' sizes. Please refer to the product listing or size guide for specific available sizes, such as 7-8 Years, 9-10 Years, 11-12 Years, 13 Years, and 14 Years.
Can children keep their belongings safe in this fleece?
Yes, the fleece features zipped pockets which are ideal for keeping small personal items secure during outdoor activities or travel.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as this can reduce the fleece's insulating properties. Always check the care label for specific washing instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the fabric free. If it persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Fleece has started to pill or 'bobble'
While designed to resist bobbling, excessive friction or harsh washing can contribute. Ensure the garment is washed inside out, and avoid washing with abrasive items like denim.

Compatibility:
The Regatta Frankie Fleece is designed as a standalone piece or as part of a layering system. It pairs well with other outdoor clothing, including t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, jeans, trousers, and waterproof outerwear.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable. Follow the care label instructions, typically washing at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C).
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can affect the fleece's properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the fabric.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The fleece material does not typically require ironing and high heat can melt the fibers.
