FAQs

Is the Tobias II Gilet waterproof?

No, it is made of polyester fleece and is designed for warmth rather than water resistance.

Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?

Yes, its low-profile design makes it an ideal mid-layer for use under thicker waterproof shells.

What is the benefit of Symmetry fleece?

Symmetry fleece is specially engineered to be soft, lightweight, and quick-drying, making it perfect for active use.

How should I wash this gilet?

Machine wash on a cool setting without fabric softener, then hang or tumble dry on low.

Is the fit true to size?

The Tobias II features a relaxed fit, designed to be comfortable over typical shirts or base layers.

Can this be used for winter sports?

It serves as a great insulating layer for winter sports, provided it is worn under an appropriate wind-resistant or waterproof outer shell.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and clean out any lint or debris from the teeth.

Fleece appears matted or fuzzy

Avoid washing with heavy-duty items like denim or items with Velcro that can pull at the fleece fibers.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent layering capabilities for variable weather
  • Soft-touch material ensures all-day comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a garment, setup is minimal—simply ensure the fit allows for comfortable layering over your desired base shirts. For compatibility, the gilet pairs seamlessly with most technical shells or casual windbreakers due to its low-profile fleece construction. To care for your garment, machine wash it on a cool cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized properties of the Symmetry fleece. Hang to dry or tumble dry on a low, gentle setting to maintain the integrity of the fibers.
