Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Frankie Fleece Gilet is designed for female equestrian enthusiasts and outdoor lovers who require a balance of warmth and mobility during stable chores or training sessions. Its primary benefit is the combination of lightweight bonded fleece for insulation and an ergonomic design that ensures unrestricted movement in the saddle; however, as a fleece garment, it is not waterproof and is best suited for layering under a jacket in harsh, wet weather conditions.

FAQs
Is the gilet waterproof?
No, the LeMieux Frankie Fleece Gilet is made of fleece material and is not waterproof. It is best used as an insulating mid-layer under a waterproof jacket.
Can I wear this while competing?
The gilet is smart enough for training and warm-ups, but please check the specific rules of your competition discipline regarding acceptable attire.
How do I choose the right size?
The gilet follows standard UK sizing. We recommend checking the size guide to match your usual dress size to ensure the intended fit.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The Frankie Fleece Gilet features external zipped pockets for convenience and security.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific temperature instructions.
What is the benefit of the dipped hem?
The dipped hem provides extra coverage to the lower back, keeping you warmer and preventing cold drafts when riding or bending over.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure the track is clear of debris or threads and apply a small amount of clear candle wax or graphite to the teeth.
Pilling on the fleece fabric
Use a fabric shaver or a de-pilling tool gently on the surface to remove small knots caused by friction.
Stable debris stuck to fleece
Shake the gilet out thoroughly before washing; a sticky lint roller works effectively on stubborn hay or hair.
