The Regatta Tobias II Gilet is a versatile four-season fleece bodywarmer designed for men who need an extra layer of core warmth without restricting arm movement. Featuring a lightweight Symmetry fleece construction, it is perfect for transitional weather or as an insulating mid-layer under a heavier jacket, though it lacks water-repellent properties, making it unsuitable for heavy rain as a standalone outer layer.

No, it is made of polyester fleece which is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It should be worn under a waterproof layer in rainy conditions.
Symmetry fleece is Regatta's signature lightweight, quick-drying, and pill-resistant fabric designed to provide warmth and comfort.
Yes, the sleeveless design makes it an excellent choice for driving as it keeps your core warm without restricting arm movement on the steering wheel.
The Tobias II features a relaxed fit. If you plan to wear it only over t-shirts, your standard size is ideal; if you intend to layer it heavily over thick sweaters, you may prefer to size up.
It is recommended to air dry to prolong the lifespan of the synthetic fleece. High heat can damage the material and cause unnecessary shrinkage.
It is lightweight enough for cool summer evenings, but it may be too warm for peak midday temperatures.
Check the zipper track for fabric debris and clean gently. You can rub a small amount of graphite or a candle on the teeth to improve movement.
Pilling is common with fleece over time; use a fabric shaver or a de-pilling comb to safely remove surface bobbles.
Avoid hanging the gilet on thin wire hangers while damp. Use a padded hanger or lay it flat to dry to maintain its structure.
This garment requires no setup. For compatibility, the gilet pairs well with most standard-fit shirts, hoodies, and jackets. To maintain the integrity of the Symmetry fleece, machine wash the gilet in cool water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the fleece fibers and reduce its moisture-wicking efficiency. Always air dry the garment; avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinking or damage to the synthetic material.
