Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Junior Frankie kids' half-zip fleece is designed for active children needing a warm and comfortable layering piece for everyday wear and outdoor play. Its primary benefit is providing reliable warmth and durability through its soft Symmetry fleece construction, which resists bobbling. A potential consideration is that it's primarily a layering piece and may not offer sufficient protection in very harsh weather on its own. Key features include its soft, brushed fleece, an anti-pill outer, a convenient half-zip, and stretch binding for a snug fit.

FAQs

What is Symmetry fleece?

Symmetry fleece is a type of polyester fabric used by Regatta. It's known for being warm, lightweight, and comfortable, with a brushed interior for softness and an anti-pill outer finish to maintain its appearance.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The fleece provides good warmth as a mid-layer. For very cold or harsh weather, it is recommended to wear it over a base layer and under a waterproof or windproof outer jacket for optimal protection.

How do I know the correct size for my child?

Refer to the Regatta sizing guide available on the product page or website. Measure your child's chest and height to find the best fit, keeping in mind that the UK size refers to age ranges.

Can this fleece be worn by boys and girls?

Yes, the Regatta Junior Frankie fleece is designed with a unisex fit, making it suitable for both boys and girls.

What is the benefit of the anti-pill finish?

The anti-pill finish prevents the fabric from forming small balls or 'pills' on the surface, ensuring the fleece looks newer for longer, even after repeated washing and wear.

How should I wash the fleece?

The fleece is machine washable. It's best to wash at 40°C with similar colours, tumble dry on low heat, and avoid bleach, ironing, or dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff or less soft after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not overloading the washing machine. Avoid using fabric softener, which can sometimes reduce the effectiveness of anti-pill treatments. A low-heat tumble dry can help restore softness.

Pilling has started to appear on the fabric surface.

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling. Avoid washing with items that have rough surfaces like denim or zippers. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove it.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, you can try rubbing a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
