FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the Frankie Fleece Gilet is made of bonded fleece and is designed for warmth and comfort, but it does not offer water resistance.
Can I wear this while competing?
The gilet is ideal for warm-ups or casual riding, but please check your specific competition rules regarding acceptable attire.
How should I choose the right size?
The gilet follows standard UK dress sizing; choose your regular size for a tailored fit, or size up if you intend to wear thick sweaters underneath.
Does it have an inside pocket?
No, the secure storage is provided by the two external zipped pockets on the front.
Is the material stretchy?
The bonded fleece provides a natural amount of stretch to ensure ease of movement in the saddle.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks when opening
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean any debris or dust from the zip track using a soft brush.
Fabric surface shows small pills after use
Use a dedicated fabric shaver or a lint brush to gently remove surface pilling, ensuring the garment is laid flat during the process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the bonded fleece, it is recommended to machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid using harsh biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can break down the technical fibers and binding texture. Always close the zippers before washing to prevent snagging. Hang the gilet to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, as tumble drying can cause the fleece to pill or lose its shape. The gilet is highly compatible as an outer layer over technical base layers or as a mid-layer under a waterproof riding coat during wetter months.
