FAQs
What is the primary material of the Regatta Frankie Fleece?
The fleece is made from 100% polyester Symmetry fleece, which is 170gsm, brushed on one side, and features an anti-pill finish.
How many pockets does this fleece have and are they secure?
Yes, it has three secure zipped pockets: two lower front pockets and one chest pocket.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Frankie Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability and is best used as a mid-layer or in dry, cool conditions. For rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.
How do I wash the fleece?
Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does 'anti-pill' mean for this fleece?
Anti-pill means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, which helps the fleece maintain a smoother appearance and feel over time, even with regular use and washing.
Can this fleece be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the Regatta Frankie Fleece is designed as unisex, making it suitable for all children.
What age group is the '5-6 Years' size for?
The '5-6 Years' size is generally suitable for children typically aged between 5 and 6 years old, but it's always recommended to check the specific size chart for Regatta children's wear for precise measurements.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce softness over time. Wash with similar colors in cold water and tumble dry on low.
Zippers are stiff
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.
Fleece is not providing enough warmth
The fleece is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, consider layering it over a thermal base layer or under a more windproof and waterproof outer jacket.
