Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is a versatile, sleeveless outer layer designed for active adults who need a blend of mobility and weather resistance during outdoor pursuits. Constructed from durable Extol Stretch and Micro Poplin fabrics, it offers excellent freedom of movement and protection against light elements, making it an essential piece for layering. While it provides great core warmth and utility, it does not include a hood, meaning it is best suited for use in milder conditions or as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell during heavier rain.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It features water-repellent technology, which helps shed light rain, but it is not classified as fully waterproof.
Can I wear this over a thick jacket?
Yes, its sleeveless design makes it an excellent mid-layer for heat retention, though you should ensure the sizing allows for comfortable layering.
How do I add my own logo?
The gilet is designed with specific embroidery access points that allow you to customize the garment without damaging the lining.
Does it have an inside pocket?
It comes with a secure zipped chest pocket and two lower pockets for exterior storage.
What material is it made of?
The gilet is constructed from high-quality, durable polyester using Extol Stretch and Micro Poplin fabrics.
Is the collar adjustable?
The collar is a fixed standing style designed to sit comfortably against the neck to provide wind protection.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean the track with a soft brush to remove debris.
Water-repellency seems to be fading
Reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat setting or applying a specialized fabric re-proofer spray.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Lightweight and ideal for effective layering
- Includes multiple secure pockets for utility

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a versatile garment, it pairs perfectly with base layers like long-sleeve performance tees or heavier mid-layer fleeces. When it comes to care, ensure you wash the gilet in cool water to maintain the integrity of the water-repellent coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the technical fabric and reduce its breathability. Always check the internal garment tag for specific drying instructions, though air drying is generally recommended to preserve the shape and the elastic binding on the hem and cuffs.
