FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this gilet?

The Regatta 'Sweetness II' Fleece Gilet is designed as a lightweight, soft, and durable mid-layer for outdoor activities, providing warmth without bulk.

What material is the gilet made from?

It is made from 170gsm Symmetry fleece, which is 70% polyester and 30% polyester, featuring a brushed inner for softness and an anti-pill outer.

How should I wash and care for the gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and do not iron or dry clean. Avoid using fabric softener to maintain the fabric's properties.

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, the gilet is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and comfort and offers quick-drying properties for light moisture but will not protect against significant rain.

What sizes and colors are available?

This specific guide is for the Pink, Size 18 variant. The 'Sweetness II' model is available in various sizes and colors, including Black, Multicolor, and Blue.

Can this gilet be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer in mild or transitional weather. For colder conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer for added insulation.

What are the dimensions of the pockets?

The product information does not specify exact pocket dimensions, but they are described as lower pockets suitable for essentials.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing

Ensure you have avoided using fabric softener. If softener was used, a subsequent wash without it might help restore some softness.

Pilling appearing on the fabric

While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction or rough handling during washing/drying can contribute to pilling. Ensure it is washed inside out and avoid abrasive materials.

Gilet seems too thin for intended warmth

This gilet is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, layer it over a warmer base layer or under a more insulated outer jacket.
