FAQs
Is the Tobias II Gilet windproof?
No, it is made of Symmetry fleece, which is designed for warmth and breathability but allows some airflow.
Can I wear this in the rain?
The material is not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
Does the fleece shed after washing?
Symmetry fleece is durable, but to prolong its life, always wash inside out and avoid high heat in the dryer.
Is this suitable for high-intensity sports?
Yes, its breathability and sleeveless design make it excellent for high-exertion activities where you need to keep your core warm without overheating.
How does the sizing compare to other Regatta products?
The Tobias II is cut with a relaxed, everyday fit, which is generally consistent with Regatta's standard sizing for leisurewear.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during the wash cycle, as it coats the fibers.
Static buildup during dry weather
Lightly mist the garment with water or use an anti-static spray on the inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Care Instructions: To maintain the loft and softness of the Symmetry fleece, machine wash on a cool setting. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the fleece fibers and reduce breathability. Air dry whenever possible to prevent shrinkage.
- Compatibility: This gilet is highly compatible with standard casual shirts, flannel shirts, and hoodies. For extreme cold, wear it over a base layer and under a waterproof outer jacket.
- Sizing: The Tobias II features a relaxed fit. For those intending to wear only a t-shirt underneath, consider your standard size; if you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, the relaxed cut is specifically designed to accommodate that extra volume.
