Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Frankie Half Zip fleece is designed for kids, offering warmth and comfort for cooler days. Its key benefit is the soft, durable Symmetry fleece that resists bobbling, making it ideal for everyday wear, school layers, and outdoor play. A potential caveat is that it's a single-layer fleece, so for extreme cold, additional layers may be needed.

FAQs
What is Symmetry fleece?
Symmetry fleece is a type of lightweight, warm polyester fleece fabric developed by Regatta. It is brushed on one side for softness and treated to be anti-pill, meaning it resists forming small balls of fiber on the surface.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Frankie Half Zip fleece provides good warmth for moderate conditions. For very cold weather or prolonged exposure to low temperatures, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer and under a waterproof or insulated outer jacket for maximum protection.
How should I wash the fleece?
The fleece is machine washable. It is best to wash it on a gentle cycle at 30-40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softener and tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Can this fleece be worn by boys and girls?
Yes, the Regatta Frankie Half Zip fleece is designed as a unisex garment, suitable for all children.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
Anti-pill means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small fuzzy balls (pills) on its surface that can occur with wear and washing. This helps the garment maintain a neater appearance over time.
What sizes are available?
The fleece is available in various children's sizes, typically ranging from toddler to older children's age groups. Please refer to the specific product listing for exact size availability.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Ensure you have avoided using fabric softener, as this can coat the fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Wash again with a mild detergent only.
Pilling developing on the surface
Although designed to resist pilling, excessive friction or rough handling during washing/drying might cause minor pilling. Try a gentler wash cycle and avoid tumble drying on high heat. Gentle brushing can sometimes help remove minor pills.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This fleece is designed for unisex children and is suitable for various activities. It pairs well with other base layers or outerwear.
Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of the fleece:
- Washing: Machine washable. Use a standard wash cycle at a moderate temperature (e.g., 30-40°C).
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the fleece's anti-pill properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fibers.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The fleece material does not typically require ironing, and high heat can melt the synthetic fibers.
