Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Fleece Gilet is designed for adult men who need a versatile, lightweight layering piece that provides warmth without restricted movement. Constructed from soft microfleece with durable poplin overlays, this gilet excels as an insulating layer for weekend walks or daily commutes; however, it lacks full waterproof protection, making it less suitable for heavy rain without a shell layer.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Gilet waterproof?
No, it is designed for warmth and comfort. It is not waterproof, though the poplin overlays offer slight resistance against light drizzles.
Can I machine wash this gilet?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend a cool, gentle cycle and air drying to preserve the fabric quality.
What material is it made of?
The main body is constructed from soft polyester microfleece, complemented by durable poplin overlays.
Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?
Yes, the two lower pockets and the chest pocket are zippered and sized to securely hold standard-sized smartphones.
Does the armhole sizing allow for bulky shirts underneath?
The stretch binding allows for a flexible fit, but it is primarily designed to fit comfortably over standard layers like t-shirts or thin pullovers.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check for trapped fabric debris and apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Fleece appearance becoming fuzzy or pilled
Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills and wash the garment inside out in a mesh laundry bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a wearable garment, no technical setup is required. To maintain the integrity of the polyester microfleece and poplin overlays, follow these care instructions: wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the fleece. For the best fit, verify your measurements against the Regatta size guide, as the gilet is designed to sit close to the body for optimal heat retention. To prevent piling, turn the garment inside out before washing and avoid high-heat tumble drying.
