Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Sweetness II Fleece Gilet is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a versatile, lightweight midlayer that provides core warmth without restricting arm movement. Featuring Symmetry fleece technology, it offers a soft, brushed interior for comfort and an anti-pill exterior for durability, making it an excellent choice for hiking, dog walking, or everyday layering. While it provides fantastic thermal regulation and is quick-drying, it lacks windproof or waterproof ratings, meaning it should be worn under a protective shell in harsh weather conditions.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Sweetness II Gilet waterproof?
No, it is made of polyester fleece and is not designed to be waterproof. It should be worn under a waterproof jacket in wet weather.
Does it have zippered pockets?
No, the Sweetness II features open lower pockets designed for hand-warming and easy access.
Can I tumble dry this gilet?
It is generally recommended to air dry to preserve the integrity of the fleece, though it is quick-drying by nature.
What is Symmetry fleece?
Symmetry fleece is a Regatta-developed fabric that is anti-pill, soft to the touch, and designed to provide lasting warmth.
Is this gilet suitable for winter hiking?
It is ideal for winter hiking as a midlayer underneath a more robust outer shell to trap body heat.
Does the sizing run large or small?
The fit is generally true to size for an adult female. Refer to the size guide if you prefer a looser fit for heavy layering.
Troubleshooting
Fabric starting to look fuzzy or worn
While the fabric is anti-pill, using a specialized fabric shaver can remove any surface bobbling caused by friction with backpacks.
Static electricity buildup
Use a laundry conditioner sparingly or rub a dryer sheet lightly over the inside of the gilet to reduce static cling.

- Highly versatile for both active and casual settings

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your gilet in optimal condition, wash it on a gentle cycle at 30°C or 40°C with similar colors. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers. It is best to hang-dry the garment, as it is quick-drying and usually does not require tumble drying.
Regarding compatibility, this gilet fits true to size as a standard midlayer. If you plan to wear it over thick sweaters, consider checking the fit to ensure it does not feel too tight around the chest or armholes. Always ensure your outer shell jacket has enough room to accommodate the gilet's thickness without restricting your breathability.
