Regatta Frankie Fleece - Powder Lilac - Size: 3-4

This specific product is sized for children aged 3-4 years (UK sizing).

No, the Regatta Frankie Fleece is water-resistant due to its fabric treatment but not fully waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and comfort, and can be layered with a waterproof jacket for protection against rain.

The fleece is made from 170gsm Symmetry fleece, which offers good warmth for its weight, making it suitable for cooler days. It is ideal as a mid-layer or for moderate temperatures.

It is generally recommended not to use fabric softeners on fleece materials, as they can sometimes clog the fibers and reduce their softness and insulating properties over time. Stick to mild detergents.

Refer to standard UK children's sizing charts for age 3-4. The fleece has stretch binding on the cuffs and hem for a flexible fit, but ensure the body length and sleeve length are appropriate.

An 'anti-pill' fabric has been treated to resist the formation of small balls or pills on its surface, which can occur after wear and washing. This helps the garment maintain a smoother appearance for longer.

Yes, the Regatta Frankie Fleece has a unisex design, making it suitable for both boys and girls.

Ensure the fleece is washed according to the care instructions, particularly using a low heat for tumble drying and avoiding abrasive detergents. The anti-pill finish is designed to minimize this, but extreme friction or improper washing can still cause minor issues.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it continues to be stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Over time and with frequent washing, fleece can lose some of its original softness. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes degrade fleece fibers. Washing with similar soft fabrics and air drying can help maintain softness.
