FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for all seasons?

It's primarily designed for cooler conditions, making it ideal for autumn, winter, and spring. While too warm for summer, it can serve as a light jacket on cool summer evenings.

Is the Frankie fleece waterproof?

No, the Regatta Frankie Warm Full Zip Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and insulation. For wet weather, it should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer jacket.

What do the reflective trims do?

The reflective trims are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, such as early mornings or evenings. They reflect light from sources like car headlights, making the child more noticeable for safety.

Can this fleece be tumble dried?

Yes, it can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. However, air drying is recommended to best preserve the fleece's quality and prolong its lifespan.

What is 'borg fleece'?

Borg fleece is a type of synthetic fleece fabric known for its deep pile and soft, fluffy, sheepskin-like texture. It's excellent for trapping air and providing superior warmth and comfort.

How do I choose the right size for my child?

The size (e.g., 5-6) refers to the child's age range. For the best fit, consult Regatta's specific size chart which usually includes height and chest measurements. If between sizes, consider sizing up for longer wear and layering.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, in cool and dry conditions, the Frankie Fleece can be worn as an effective outer layer. For colder or wet weather, it functions best as a warm mid-layer beneath a protective shell.

Troubleshooting

The fleece isn't as warm as expected.

Ensure the child is wearing appropriate base layers underneath. For very cold conditions, the fleece is designed as a mid-layer; consider adding a windproof or waterproof outer shell.

Fleece appears matted or less soft after washing.

This often happens with fabric softeners or high heat drying. Wash again without fabric softener and air dry, or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. A gentle brush may help restore loft.

Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.

Gently apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a pencil lead) along the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, and try to keep the fabric clear of the zipper path.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth due to borg fleece construction.
  • Enhanced safety with reflective trims for low-light visibility.
  • Practical storage with secure zipped pockets.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with stretch binding on cuffs and hem.
  • Easy to wear and layer with its full-zip design.
  • Durable material suitable for active children's play.

Cons

  • Not waterproof or water-resistant, requires an outer shell in wet conditions.
  • Requires specific care instructions to maintain fleece quality and prevent pilling.
  • May be too warm for mild indoor environments or very active play indoors.
  • Sizing is specific to children's age groups, requiring careful measurement for best fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Frankie Fleece requires no complex setup; it's ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply ensure the correct size for the child to allow for comfortable movement and potential layering.

Compatibility

This fleece is designed for versatility. It can be:

  • Worn alone: As a primary outer layer in cool, dry conditions.
  • Layered: Perfectly pairs under a waterproof jacket or coat for added warmth in wet or colder weather. It can also be worn over a base layer or t-shirt.

Care

To maintain the fleece's warmth, softness, and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or cold wash) with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible by laying it flat or hanging it on a line. If using a dryer, tumble dry on a low heat setting to prevent damage or shrinking.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can melt or damage the fleece fibers.
  5. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
