FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Warm Full Zip Fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is designed for insulation and warmth, not for waterproofing. For wet weather, we recommend layering it under a waterproof outer jacket.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
The product is sized by age, for example, '9-10' for children aged 9 to 10 years. For the most accurate fit, always refer to the specific Regatta size chart if available, or consider your child's typical clothing size.
Can this fleece be worn for active sports?
Yes, its comfortable fit and insulation make it suitable for various active outdoor sports and play in cool conditions. The stretch binding allows for good freedom of movement.
What is 'borg fleece'?
Borg fleece is a type of synthetic fleece fabric known for its thick, deep pile that resembles lamb's wool or shearling. It's exceptionally soft, cosy, and provides superior insulation by trapping a significant amount of air.
Are the pockets large enough to hold a phone?
The zipped pockets are generally designed for smaller items like keys, coins, or a small snack. Depending on the phone model and size, it might fit, but they are not intended for larger devices.
Will the reflective trims last after multiple washes?
With proper care (cold, gentle wash; air dry), the reflective trims are designed to be durable. However, their reflectivity may naturally lessen very slightly over a long period of heavy use and repeated washing.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft or matted after washing
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding fabric softeners. Air drying or tumble drying on very low heat can also help preserve the texture. Over-washing or using harsh detergents can contribute to matting.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, gently rub a graphite pencil lead along both sides of the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
Reflective trims appear dull or less effective
Gentle washing is key. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbing directly on the trims. Over time and with extensive wear, reflective properties can naturally diminish, but proper care prolongs their effectiveness.
Fleece isn't providing enough warmth in very cold conditions
The Frankie Warm Fleece is an excellent insulator but is not designed for extreme cold as a standalone item. For very cold temperatures, use it as a mid-layer in conjunction with a warm base layer and an appropriate outer shell jacket to maximize thermal performance.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and extend the life of your fleece, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fleece fibers and reduce its insulating properties.
- Drying: Air dry flat or hang to dry away from direct heat. If using a dryer, tumble dry on low heat for a short cycle, but air drying is preferred to prevent damage to the fleece and reflective trims.
- Bleaching/Ironing: Do not bleach. Do not iron, as high heat can melt the fleece fibers and damage the reflective trims.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.
