No, the Regatta Frankie Warm Borg Fleece is designed for insulation and warmth, not for waterproofing. While it provides excellent thermal protection, it is not waterproof and will get wet in rain. For wet conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.
It's best to machine wash the fleece at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the fleece's insulating properties. Air dry the garment or tumble dry on a very low heat setting to preserve the borg fleece texture.
Yes, in mild, dry weather conditions, the Regatta Frankie Warm Borg Fleece can be comfortably worn as a standalone outer jacket. For colder or wet conditions, it functions best as a warm mid-layer under a protective outer shell.
This fleece is designed for kids, making it suitable for children who need a warm and comfortable layer for various activities.
Based on the product description, this specific model (Frankie Warm Borg Full-Zip Insulating Fleece) does not include a hood. It features a full-zip design with a collar.
Yes, the fleece is equipped with zipped pockets, which provide secure storage for small items like keys, snacks, or other treasures your child might carry, preventing them from falling out during active play.
This can happen from improper washing. Ensure you are washing at 30°C on a gentle cycle, avoiding fabric softeners, and air drying or tumble drying on low. Brushing gently with a soft brush once dry can help restore loft.
Avoid forcing the zipper. Gently wiggle the slider and try to align the teeth. If there's fabric caught, carefully pull it free. A tiny bit of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the zipper teeth can sometimes help lubrication.
Wash the fleece separately or with similar lint-free items. Using a lint roller or a damp cloth can effectively remove unwanted fibers before or after wearing.
Pilling is common with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid rough surfaces. A fabric shaver or a specialized depiller can carefully remove pills without damaging the fabric.
This fleece requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It's highly compatible as a layering piece, fitting comfortably over base layers like t-shirts or long-sleeved tops, and under outer shells such as waterproof jackets or heavier coats for added warmth. To ensure the longevity and performance of your Frankie Warm Borg Fleece, proper care is essential. It is generally recommended to machine wash similar garments at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's ability to wick moisture and insulate. Air drying is preferred, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting to prevent matting or damage to the borg fleece texture. Always check the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions. Do not bleach or iron this fleece, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers.
