Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Men's Gilet is designed for adult males seeking versatile warmth and comfort during cooler weather. Its key benefit is providing an extra layer of insulation without restricting movement, making it ideal for various outdoor activities. A potential caveat is its reliance on layering for significant cold protection, as it's primarily a mid-layer piece. This gilet features soft microfleece for comfort and durable poplin overlays for added protection, making it suitable for weekend walks, daily commutes, or simply layering on chilly days.

It can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. For colder or wet weather, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer under a waterproof or insulated jacket.
What material is the gilet made of?

Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart for accurate measurements. Note that this is designed as a layering piece, so some fit variation is expected depending on what is worn underneath.
Microfleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the microfleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties and softness. Ensure you are using the recommended gentle wash cycle and low heat tumble dry.
Poplin overlays showing signs of wear
While durable, extreme abrasion can affect the overlays. For regular use, follow care instructions to maintain their integrity. Avoid prolonged contact with rough surfaces.
