FAQs

Is the Tobias II Gilet waterproof?

No, this gilet is made from fleece and is not waterproof. It is best used as a thermal layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.

Can this be worn during winter?

Yes, it is highly effective as a mid-layer during winter months to trap body heat beneath a heavier, insulated, or waterproof jacket.

What is the best way to wash the fleece?

Wash on a cool, gentle cycle (30 degrees) and avoid fabric softeners. Always hang dry to prevent damage to the fibers.

How does the sizing run?

The Tobias II features a relaxed, everyday fit, meaning it is true to standard sizing and designed for comfort rather than a tight, athletic compression feel.

What material is it made of?

It is constructed from 100% polyester Symmetry fleece, chosen for its lightweight durability and insulating performance.

Troubleshooting

Pilling (small balls of fiber) on the surface

Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz, and avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans or towels.

Zipper feels stiff or stuck

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. If the slider remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite or dry candle wax to the teeth to improve movement.

Static build-up

Use an anti-static spray or run a dryer sheet over the fabric surface to neutralize charges.

  • Easy to layer under waterproof outer shells

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Tobias II Gilet in optimal condition, machine wash it on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the synthetic fleece fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the fabric's loft and prevent premature wear, though it may be tumble-dried on a very low heat setting if necessary. When pairing, treat this gilet as a functional base or mid-layer; it is compatible with most standard zip-in compatible jackets or as a standalone piece for casual settings.
