Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Frankie Fleece Gilet is designed for female riders and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable layering piece that balances insulation with mobility. Its core benefit is the bonded fleece construction, which provides essential warmth without the bulk, making it perfect for time in the saddle or busy days around the stables. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that the gilet is best suited for layering and may require a waterproof outer shell in heavy rain conditions.

FAQs
Is the Frankie Gilet suitable for extreme winter weather?
It provides excellent warmth for mild to cool days, but for extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a heavier, windproof coat.
Can I wear this while riding?
Yes, the gilet is specifically designed with a two-way zip and freedom of movement in mind, making it ideal for riding.
How should I choose the right size?
The garment comes in standard UK dress sizes. Use your standard size, but consider how many layers you intend to wear underneath when selecting your fit.
Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
The zipped pockets are designed to securely hold small essentials like keys, treats, or a small smartphone.
How do I clean the sueded binding?
Gently spot clean any dirt from the binding with a damp, soft cloth to avoid damaging the textured finish.
Troubleshooting
The two-way zipper feels stiff
Check the track for debris or dust from the stables; clean with a soft brush and apply a tiny amount of candle wax to the teeth if necessary.
Fleece pilling after heavy use
Use a fabric shaver or a specialized sweater comb to gently remove surface bobbles without damaging the underlying bonded structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires minimal setup and is compatible with most riding outfits, functioning best as part of a layering system. To maintain the integrity of the bonded fleece and the sueded binding, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to protect the fleece fibers and zip hardware.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause synthetic materials to lose their loft or shape.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger to maintain the structure of the shoulder panels and the dipped hem.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the zip for any debris like straw or stable bedding to ensure the slider operates smoothly.
