FAQs

What is Symmetry Fleece?

Symmetry Fleece is a specific type of polyester fleece used by Regatta. It is known for being soft, warm, and importantly, treated to resist bobbling (pilling) after washing and wear.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The fleece provides good warmth for its weight and is ideal for cool to mild conditions. For very cold or harsh weather, it is best used as a layering piece in conjunction with other warm clothing.

How do I wash the Regatta Frankie Fleece?

The fleece is machine washable. It is recommended to wash it on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (e.g., 30-40°C) with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Can I tumble dry the fleece?

Yes, you can tumble dry the fleece on a low heat setting. However, air drying is often preferred to help maintain the integrity of the fibers and conserve energy.

What are the benefits of the zipped pockets?

The zipped pockets provide secure storage for small items, preventing them from falling out during active play or movement.

What ages is this fleece available for?

This particular product listing is for kids aged 7-8 years. The Regatta Frankie fleece is available in a range of sizes for children.

Does the fleece have a hood?

No, the Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece does not feature a hood. It has a stand-up collar with stretch binding.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears to be losing its softness.

Ensure you are not using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can strip the fleece's natural softness. Wash with a mild detergent and air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Fleece is not warm enough.

This fleece is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, consider layering it over a thermal base layer or under a more substantial outer jacket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and soft fleece material that resists bobbling.
  • Multiple zipped pockets for secure storage of essentials.
  • Comfortable fit due to stretch binding at key areas.
  • Suitable for layering in cooler weather.
  • Easy to clean and maintain.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for very cold, harsh winter conditions on its own.
  • Primarily designed for casual outdoor use, not high-performance sports.
  • As a kids' garment, durability depends on wear and tear from active play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight from packaging.

Compatibility: The Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece is designed as a standalone piece or as a layering item. It pairs well with t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, and outerwear such as raincoats or heavier jackets. Its unisex design makes it suitable for all children.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of the fleece:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a moderate temperature (typically 30-40°C or 85-105°F) using a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the fleece fibers.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. The fleece material does not require ironing and high heat can cause damage.
  4. Detergents: Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as they can degrade the fleece's anti-pill properties and color.
