Regatta Hillpack II Gilet - White - Size 8

The synthetic down filling provides excellent warmth and insulation similar to natural down, but it remains effective even when wet and is a cruelty-free alternative.

The gilet is designed to be compressible and packable, often into one of its own pockets or a designated stuff sack (sold separately or sometimes included). Fold it tightly and compress it into the designated area.

While the gilet provides good insulation, its sleeveless design means it is best suited as a layering piece. For extreme cold, it would need to be worn under a warmer jacket or coat.

Water repellent means the fabric will resist water penetration from light showers or splashes, causing water to bead up and roll off. It does not mean the gilet is waterproof and will not protect against prolonged heavy rain.

Yes, you can machine wash the gilet on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Always fasten zips before washing.

This specific listing is for Size 8 UK. The Regatta Hillpack II Gilet is available in a range of women's UK sizes, typically from 8 up to 26, and in various colours.

Yes, the gilet is made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability efforts.

Ensure the gilet is fully dry. Synthetic down can lose some loft when damp. Check that all zippers are fully closed and that the hem and cuffs are snug to prevent drafts.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

The fabric is water-repellent, not waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer is recommended. Allow the gilet to air dry completely.
