FAQs
What is Symmetry Fleece?
Symmetry Fleece is a type of polyester fleece developed by Regatta. It is known for being hardwearing, soft, and easy to care for, featuring a brushed inner for comfort and an anti-pill finish on the outer side for durability.
How warm is this gilet?
The 'Sweetness II' Fleece Gilet is designed as a midlayer, providing comfortable warmth suitable for mild weather or as an additional layer under a jacket. It is not intended to be a primary source of heat in very cold conditions.
Can I wear this in the rain?
While the fleece fabric is quick-drying, it is not waterproof. This gilet is best suited for dry conditions or as a layer under a waterproof outer shell if rain is expected.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart for women's UK dress sizes. The provided information indicates this specific item is a UK size 20.
Is this gilet suitable for active sports?
Yes, its lightweight and breathable nature, combined with quick-dry properties, makes it suitable for activities like walking, hiking, and general outdoor exercise where mobility and comfort are key.
What are the main benefits of the anti-pill finish?
The anti-pill finish helps to prevent the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface of the fabric, ensuring the gilet maintains a smooth appearance and soft feel even after repeated washing and wear.
Does this gilet have a hood?
No, the 'Sweetness II' Fleece Gilet typically does not feature a hood. It has a standard sleeveless design with a full zip front.
Troubleshooting
Fleece pilling excessively
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid washing with items that have abrasive surfaces or zippers. Use a lower spin speed during washing if possible. For minor pilling, a fabric shaver can be used carefully.
Gilet feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with fleece. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the fleece and cause pilling. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. A small amount of wax or graphite lubricant applied to the zipper teeth can help. Ensure the garment was zipped before washing.
