Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth.
Gilet feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart for Regatta products. The gilet is designed for layering, so consider the thickness of the garments worn underneath.
Fleece pilling after washing
Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing temperature and avoiding high heat drying or harsh detergents. Washing inside out can also help minimize pilling.
