FAQs

What age group is this fleece intended for?

This specific size is for kids aged 3-4 years. Regatta offers this fleece in various sizes for different age groups.

How warm is this fleece?

The fleece is designed to be warm and cozy, suitable for cooler days. It's an excellent mid-layer for added insulation or a primary layer in mild weather.

Can this fleece be worn in the rain?

While the fleece offers some warmth, it is not waterproof. For rainy conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof jacket.

How do I wash the Regatta Kids Frankie Fleece?

You can machine wash it at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean. Close the zip before washing.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

'Anti-pill' means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or pills on the surface, helping the fleece maintain a smooth appearance over time.

Is this fleece suitable for sensitive skin?

The fleece is brushed inside for comfort, making it soft against the skin. It's made from 100% polyester.

What is Symmetry fleece?

Symmetry fleece is Regatta's own type of polyester fleece fabric known for being lightweight, warm, and durable, with specific treatments like brushing for comfort and anti-pilling.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears to be pilling or losing its softness.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Using a lower heat setting for drying and avoiding harsh detergents can help maintain the fabric's integrity. The 'anti-pill' feature is designed to minimize this, but excessive friction or improper care can still affect it.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check that there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull any trapped fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, try rubbing a graphite pencil tip along the teeth for lubrication. Ensure the zipper is closed completely before washing to prevent damage.

Fleece feels less warm than expected.

Verify that the fleece is being used as a mid-layer in colder conditions. For very cold weather, additional insulating layers or a windproof/waterproof outer shell may be necessary. Ensure the cuffs and hem are snug to prevent drafts.
