Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Tobias II Gilet is a versatile, four-season bodywarmer designed for adult men who need reliable core warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. Crafted from lightweight Symmetry fleece, it offers an excellent balance of comfort and insulation, making it ideal for layering over shirts during mild weather or under heavier coats in winter; however, its lightweight nature means it is not intended to serve as a standalone windproof or waterproof outer layer in extreme weather conditions.

Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?

What does 'Symmetry fleece' mean?

It is Regatta’s proprietary fleece fabric known for being soft, pill-resistant, and quick-drying.

Does it have pockets?

How should I wash it?

Troubleshooting

Fleece appearing matted after frequent washing

Avoid fabric softeners and use a gentle cycle. Gently brush the surface with a soft-bristled brush once dry to restore the loft.

Static buildup in dry conditions

Lightly mist the inner lining with water or use a natural anti-static spray to neutralize the charge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Tobias II requires no assembly; simply slip it on and utilize the front zipper for a secure fit. To ensure the longevity of the Symmetry fleece material, wash the gilet in cool to lukewarm water (max 40°C) with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers. It is best to air dry the garment away from direct heat sources. Because of its relaxed fit, it is compatible with most standard base layers and medium-weight flannel shirts or sweaters.
