FAQs
What is the main purpose of this gilet?
The Regatta Frankie Fleece Gilet is designed to provide warmth and comfort as a versatile layering piece for cooler weather, without adding bulk.
What material is the gilet made of?
It is made from a soft microfleece (70% polyester/30% polyester, 210 gsm) with durable micro poplin overlays (63% polyester/37% polyester, 84 gsm).
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and comfort and can be worn under a waterproof jacket for complete weather protection.
How many pockets does the gilet have?
The gilet features one zippered chest pocket and two zippered lower pockets.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold weather?
It is suitable for cooler weather and can be part of a layering system. For very cold conditions, additional insulating layers or a heavier outer jacket would be recommended.
How should I wash the gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting.
What does 'PA coating' mean on the poplin overlays?
PA coating typically refers to Polyurethane coating, which adds a degree of water resistance and durability to the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart if available. The stretch binding on the collar, armhole, and hem offers some adjustment, but fundamental fit is size-dependent.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If still stuck, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Microfleece material has pilled
Pilling can occur with normal wear. Gentle washing and tumble drying on low heat can minimize this. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
