Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Junior Frankie Fleece is designed for active children seeking warmth and comfort during everyday activities. Its key benefit is providing a soft, cozy layer that's easy to wear and maintain. A potential consideration is that while suitable for various activities, it's best used as a mid-layer in very cold conditions. This fleece is crafted from Symmetry fleece, brushed inside for extra comfort and treated with an anti-pill finish to ensure durability and a lasting appearance. It's an ideal choice for school uniforms, outdoor play, or casual weekend outings.

FAQs

What is Symmetry fleece?

Symmetry fleece is a type of polyester fabric used by Regatta. It is designed to be warm, lightweight, and comfortable, often brushed on the inside for a soft feel and treated to resist pilling.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta, which usually includes measurements for chest, waist, and height corresponding to UK age ranges. For this specific item, the size is UK 9-10 years.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The fleece provides good insulation, but for very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer. Pair it with a warm base layer underneath and a waterproof or insulated jacket on top.

Can the fleece be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the Regatta Junior Frankie Fleece is designed as unisex and can be worn by children of any gender.

How often should I wash the fleece?

Wash the fleece as needed, following the care instructions on the label. Frequent washing using the correct method (e.g., at 40°C, low heat tumble dry) will help maintain its quality.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

'Anti-pill' means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, which can occur with friction during wear and washing. This helps the fleece look newer for longer.

Can I iron the fleece?

Yes, you can iron the fleece on a low heat setting. Avoid high temperatures, as this can damage the synthetic fibers.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears pilled or worn

Ensure washing instructions are followed, particularly regarding low heat drying and avoiding harsh detergents. The anti-pill finish helps prevent this, but improper care can still affect the fabric.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently pull the zipper up and down a few times. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Fleece has lost its softness

Check care label for washing instructions. Using a fabric conditioner designed for fleece can help restore softness, but ensure it's suitable for outdoor wear materials.
