Regatta cuts price on kids Borg fleece poncho to £6 in midseason sale

Regatta has reduced the price of its children's Borg fleece poncho from £30 to £6, an 80 percent cut, as part of the retailer's midseason sale, the company said. The unisex, oversized poncho is made from 100 percent polyester Borg fleece with a brushed-back finish, includes a grown-on hood and a front kangaroo pocket, and is offered in three colours in sizes grouped for ages 3-5, 5-9 and 9-13. Regatta and retail listings indicate stock is moving quickly and some size and colour combinations are already limited.

The poncho promotion is one of several consumer offers highlighted during the sale period. WalkFit is offering a 61 percent discount on a four-week personalised walking plan that tailors daily targets to a user’s step count and calorie intake and can sync with many smartwatches.
