Regatta 'Sweetness II' Fleece Gilet - Blue - 14

Its primary purpose is to serve as a warm, lightweight midlayer for outdoor activities, providing insulation without bulk.

An anti-pill finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the gilet look newer for longer.

It can be worn as a standalone piece in mild, dry weather. However, for protection against wind and rain, it is best layered under an appropriate outerwear jacket.

The gilet should fit comfortably over your base layer without being too tight or too loose, allowing for ease of movement and effective layering.

It is made from Regatta's Symmetry fleece, which is 70% polyester and 30% polyester with an anti-pill finish, weighing 170 gsm. The fabric composition is 80% Polyester; 20% Polyester.

The product description mentions 2 lower pockets, but does not specify if they are zippered. Typically, fleece gilets have open handwarmer pockets.

No, this gilet is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed for insulation and can be layered under waterproof outerwear.

Ensure you are washing according to the care label (40 degrees, no bleach) and avoid washing with abrasive materials. Air drying or low-heat tumble drying can also help maintain the anti-pill finish.

This gilet is designed as a midlayer. For increased warmth, layer it over a thermal base layer and/or under a windproof or waterproof outer jacket. Ensure the size fits correctly for optimal layering.

The pockets are designed for essentials like hands or small items. For larger items, consider using the pockets of your outer jacket.
