Regatta Frankie Half Zip Fleece - Blue - 7-8 Years

This specific product listing is for sizes 7-8 years, but the Regatta Frankie fleece is available in various sizes suitable for kids.

Symmetry fleece is a type of 170gsm polyester fleece fabric used by Regatta. It's brushed on the inside for comfort and treated to resist bobbling (pilling), ensuring it looks good and feels soft over time.

While the fleece offers warmth, it is not waterproof. It is best suited for dry, cool conditions or as a warm layer under a waterproof outer shell in wet weather.

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for children's clothing, which typically provides measurements for chest, waist, and height. For this specific item, the size is listed as 7-8 years.

The fleece is brushed inside for comfort and made from polyester. While generally comfortable, individuals with very sensitive skin might prefer natural fibers. However, it is designed for children's wear and is generally well-tolerated.

The anti-pill finish means that small balls of fiber ('pills') are less likely to form on the surface of the fabric during wear and washing. This helps the fleece maintain a smooth appearance and soft feel for longer.

Yes, the half-zip design and medium weight make it ideal for layering. It can be easily worn over a t-shirt or base layer and under a jacket or coat for added warmth.

Ensure the garment was washed according to the care instructions, particularly the temperature and drying method. Avoid high heat drying; air drying is recommended.

The fleece is designed with an anti-pill finish to maintain softness. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Regular washing following care guidelines helps maintain softness.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to catch, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) rubbed on the zipper teeth can help lubricate it.
