Regatta Frankie Fleece Gilet - Blue - M

The gilet is made from a combination of soft microfleece (210 gsm) for warmth and comfort, and polyester micro poplin with a PA coating (84 gsm) for durable overlays.

No, the gilet is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and comfort and is best suited as a layering piece. The poplin overlays offer some protection against light elements but not significant water resistance.

You should machine wash the gilet at 40°C. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

The gilet features stretch binding on the collar, armhole, and hem, which helps to provide a snug and comfortable fit that seals in warmth.

While it provides warmth, it is best suited as a layering piece. For cold weather, consider wearing it over a base layer and under a more protective outer shell for full insulation and weather resistance.

The gilet includes one zipped chest pocket and two zipped lower pockets, offering secure storage for essentials.

Gently try to free the zipper. If fabric is caught, carefully pull the fabric away. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth and try again.

Ensure you are using the recommended washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.

Some pilling is normal with fleece over time. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim.
