Full details

This Regatta Fleece Gilet in Pale Lilac, size 12, is designed for adult women seeking a versatile, comfortable layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing adaptable warmth, suitable for mild weather or as an extra layer in colder conditions. A minor caveat is that its primary function is mid-layer insulation, meaning it may not be sufficient as a primary outer layer in extreme cold or wet weather.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this gilet?

The Regatta Fleece Gilet is designed as a versatile mid-layer, providing warmth and comfort for outdoor activities. It can be worn alone in mild weather or layered under a jacket for added insulation in colder conditions.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is made from Symmetry fleece, which is 70% polyester and 30% polyester with an anti-pill finish. The fabric weight is 170 gsm.

How should I wash the gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low setting. It's recommended to wash and dry inside out, and wash dark colors separately.

Can this gilet be used as a standalone jacket in winter?

While it provides warmth, it is primarily a mid-layer. For significant cold or wet weather, it is best worn as part of a layering system with an appropriate outer shell.

Does the fleece have any special properties?

Yes, it features a brushed inner for softness and an anti-pill finish for durability. The Symmetry fleece is also quick-drying and easy to care for.

How many pockets does the gilet have?

The gilet features two lower pockets for convenient storage or hand warming.

Is this gilet suitable for men?

No, this particular gilet is designed specifically for women and is available in women's sizing.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can affect the fleece's properties. Tumble dry on a low setting as recommended.

Pilling on the fabric surface

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or harsh washing can still cause minor pilling. Ensure the garment is washed inside out and avoid washing with abrasive materials.

Gilet does not provide enough warmth

This gilet is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, layer it under a windproof or waterproof outer jacket for maximum insulation and protection.
