Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Frankie mens gilet in Red, size XXXL, is designed for adults seeking a warm and comfortable layering piece without added bulk. Its key benefit is providing warmth through soft microfleece combined with durable overlays for protection, ideal for cooler days and outdoor activities. A potential consideration is its suitability primarily as a mid-layer rather than a standalone outer shell in harsh weather conditions. Key features include its dual-fabric construction, multiple zipped pockets, and stretch binding for a secure fit.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this gilet?
The Regatta Frankie Fleece Gilet is designed to provide warmth and comfort as a layering piece for cooler weather, suitable for activities like walking or commuting.
Can this gilet be worn as an outer layer in winter?
While it offers warmth and some protection, it is best suited as a mid-layer. For very cold or wet winter conditions, it is recommended to wear a waterproof and windproof outer shell over it.
What materials is the gilet made from?
The main body is made from a soft microfleece (70% polyester/30% polyester, 210 gsm), with durable micro poplin overlays (63% polyester/37% polyester, 84 gsm).
How many pockets does it have and are they secure?
Yes, it features one zipped chest pocket and two zipped lower pockets, providing secure storage for personal items.
What are the washing instructions?
It can be machine washed at 40°C, not bleached, tumble dried on low heat, and ironed on a low setting. Dry cleaning is not recommended.
Is this gilet suitable for women?
This specific model is designed as a men's gilet. While fit preferences vary, it is tailored for a male physique.
What does the stretch binding on the collar, armhole, and hem do?
The stretch binding ensures a snug fit, helping to keep warmth in and drafts out, while also providing a comfortable feel during movement.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Gilet feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. This gilet is designed as a layering piece, so consider wearing thinner layers underneath if needed. Check the sizing guide for accurate measurements.
Pilling or matting of fleece after washing
Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding tumble drying on a low heat and avoiding high temperatures. Washing inside out can also help reduce pilling.
