FAQs
What is the primary material of the Regatta Frankie Gilet?
The primary material is soft microfleece for warmth and comfort, with durable poplin overlays for added protection.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
It is best suited for cooler or transitional weather. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it with warmer insulation or a heavier outer jacket.
Can the gilet be worn by women?
This model is specifically designed for men with a regular fit. Women may wish to consider sizing down or looking for a women's specific fit if available.
How many pockets does the gilet have?
The gilet features zip pockets, typically two on the sides, for secure storage.
What type of collar does it have?
It features a funnel neck, which helps to provide extra warmth and protection around the neck.
How should I clean the gilet to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
Does the gilet offer waterproof protection?
No, the gilet is not waterproof. It offers wind resistance and comfort but should be paired with a waterproof layer for rain.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart if unsure. The 'Regular Fit' is designed for comfortable layering.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite from a pencil on the teeth may help.
Microfleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade fleece performance. Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle and drying on a low heat or air drying.
