Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie men's gilet is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, comfortable layering option for cooler weather. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, making it ideal for outdoor activities. A potential caveat is its primary function as a mid-layer, which may require an additional outer layer in very cold or wet conditions. This gilet features soft microfleece with durable poplin overlays, a zipped chest pocket, two zipped lower pockets, and stretch binding for a comfortable fit.

FAQs
What is the primary function of this gilet?
The Regatta Frankie gilet is designed as a versatile layering piece to provide warmth and comfort without bulk, ideal for cooler weather and outdoor activities.
What materials is the gilet made from?
The main body is made from soft microfleece (70% polyester/30% polyester micro fleece, 210 gsm), with durable micro poplin overlays (63% polyester/37% polyester micro poplin, 84 gsm) featuring a PA coating.
How many pockets does it have and are they secure?
Yes, it features three secure zipped pockets: one on the chest and two lower pockets.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold or wet weather?
While it provides warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer. For very cold or wet conditions, it should be combined with a suitable outer layer like a waterproof or windproof jacket.
How should I care for the gilet to ensure its longevity?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, do not bleach, tumble dry on low or hang dry, and do not iron or dry clean. Washing inside out can help preserve the fleece.
Does the gilet have a hood?

Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that zippers are fully closed and that the stretch binding is not caught.
Pockets feel insecure
Make sure the zippers on all pockets are fully zipped closed to secure contents.
Fleece material is pilling
Reduce washing frequency and tumble drying heat. Wash inside out. Consider using a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
Gilet not warm enough on its own
This gilet is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, wear it over or under additional insulating layers or a windproof/waterproof outer shell.
