Regatta 'Sweetness II' Fleece Gilet - Blue - 18

Symmetry Fleece is Regatta's own brand of polyester fleece fabric, known for being hardwearing, lightweight, and offering good insulation. It typically features a brushed inner for softness and an anti-pill finish for durability.

No, the 'Sweetness II' Fleece Gilet is not waterproof. It is designed as an insulating mid-layer and does not have waterproof properties.

This gilet provides light to moderate insulation. For winter conditions, it is best used as a layer under a waterproof and windproof jacket for adequate protection against cold and weather.

Refer to the brand's sizing guide for Regatta women's apparel. Consider whether you plan to wear it over thick layers; if so, you might consider sizing up.

A gilet provides core warmth while allowing full freedom of movement for the arms. This makes it ideal for activities where arm mobility is important or when you need less restriction than a full jacket.

The fleece is 170 gsm (grams per square meter), which is considered a mid-weight fleece – offering warmth without being overly bulky.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have not used fabric softener, which can sometimes affect fleece. Tumble drying on a low setting can help restore softness.

Although designed with an anti-pill finish, some minor pilling can occur with heavy wear or friction. Try gently brushing the affected area or washing inside out to minimize surface contact.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil lead along the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
