FAQs
Is the gilet windproof?
The gilet is designed for warmth and breathability rather than complete windproofing. It is best used as a midlayer beneath a windproof or waterproof outer jacket.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air-dry the garment to prevent potential shrinkage and maintain the softness of the fleece fibers.
Does the sizing run true to size?
The Regatta Sweetness II generally follows standard UK women's sizing. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, you may prefer a slightly roomier fit.
Are the pockets zipped?
The gilet features two lower pockets, which provide convenient storage for small outdoor essentials.
Is this suitable for high-intensity exercise?
Yes, the quick-drying polyester fabric makes it suitable for active use, though it is primarily designed as a comfortable insulating layer.
Troubleshooting
Visible lint or bobbles on the surface
Although the fleece features an anti-pill finish, friction over long periods can cause minor surface changes. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove any surface lint.
Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes
Ensure you are not using excessive detergent or heavy fabric softeners, as residue can clog the fibers. Add an extra rinse cycle to ensure all soap is removed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your gilet in top condition, follow standard machine wash practices. Wash on a gentle, cool cycle with like colors, and avoid using harsh fabric softeners which can degrade the performance fibers. Hang-drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fleece fabric. For sizing, ensure you consult the UK dress size chart for the most accurate fit, as this gilet is cut to fit comfortably over base layers like long-sleeve tees or thin sweaters.
