Product Information
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.

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.
