Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Tobias II Gilet is a versatile, four-season fleece bodywarmer designed for adult men who need reliable core warmth without restricting arm movement. Crafted from lightweight Symmetry fleece, it offers a comfortable, relaxed fit that works equally well as a standalone layer over a shirt or tucked under a heavier coat. While it provides excellent insulation, users should note that the polyester material is not waterproof and is intended for temperature regulation rather than protection against heavy rain.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, the Tobias II is made from Symmetry fleece, which provides warmth but is not waterproof or water-resistant.

Can I wear this under a jacket?

Yes, its lightweight, low-bulk design makes it an excellent mid-layer to be worn under a waterproof shell or heavy winter coat.

What material is the gilet made of?

It is constructed from 100% polyester Symmetry fleece.

Does it have pockets?

The Tobias II typically features two side pockets for hand warmth and storing small essentials.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as it can damage the fleece fibers.

Is the fit true to size?

The gilet is designed with a relaxed, everyday fit. If you prefer a tighter, more athletic fit for layering, you may want to consider sizing down.

Troubleshooting

Fleece starting to look matted or 'pilled'

Wash the garment inside out and avoid mixing with abrasive materials like denim or garments with hook-and-loop fasteners.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Clean any debris from the zip teeth and apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to ease movement.

Pros and Cons

  • Highly versatile for layering
  • Relaxed, non-restrictive fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Tobias II Gilet in top condition, follow standard care guidelines for polyester fleece. Machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fibers.

For drying, air-drying on a hanger is recommended to maintain the shape of the fleece. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting. Compatibility is broad; the gilet pairs well with most technical outdoor shirts, sweaters, and waterproof shells. Always check the size guide to ensure the 'relaxed fit' aligns with your preferred layering habits.
