Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece is designed for kids who need a warm and practical layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing cozy warmth with a soft, durable fleece that resists bobbling, while zipped pockets keep essentials secure. A potential consideration is that it's primarily a layering piece, so additional outerwear may be needed in very cold or wet conditions. This fleece is ideal for everyday wear, school runs, and outdoor play.

Does the fleece zip all the way up?

Troubleshooting
Fleece appears to be pilling or bobbling.
While the Symmetry fleece is designed to resist bobbling, excessive friction or harsh washing can sometimes contribute. Ensure you are washing with similar fabrics and avoid overloading the washing machine. Using a lower spin cycle can also help.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, you can try rubbing a graphite pencil along the teeth or applying a small amount of wax.
Fleece feels less warm after washing.
Ensure the fleece is not compacted by using a lower spin cycle and proper drying methods. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can sometimes affect the insulating properties of fleece.
