FAQs
What is the primary function of the Regatta Frankie Fleece Gilet?
The gilet is designed to provide warmth and comfort without bulk, making it an excellent layering piece for cooler weather.
What materials is the gilet made from?
It is made from a combination of soft microfleece (70% polyester/30% polyester micro fleece fabric - 210 gsm) and durable poplin overlays (63% polyester/37% polyester micro poplin full dull with PA coating - 84 gsm).
Is the gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet is not waterproof. It offers protection against wind and light moisture due to the poplin overlays but is best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
How many pockets does the gilet have?
The gilet features one zipped chest pocket and two zipped lower pockets.
How should I care for my gilet to ensure its longevity?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
Can this gilet be worn as a standalone jacket?
It can be worn as a standalone piece in mild, dry weather. For colder or wet conditions, it is intended to be layered with other garments for optimal performance.
What sizes are available?
This gilet is available in various men's sizes, including S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXXL, and XXXXXL.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the garment's measurements against your own. Consider wearing thinner layers underneath.
Zippers are difficult to operate
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Fleece material showing signs of wear or pilling
Reduce frequency of machine drying on high heat. Wash inside out on a gentle cycle. Use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
Gilet does not provide enough warmth
This gilet is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, wear additional thermal layers underneath or a waterproof/windproof jacket over the top.
