FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this gilet?
The Regatta Professional Quilted Hybrid Gilet is designed to provide core body warmth while allowing maximum freedom of movement for the arms, making it ideal for active work and outdoor pursuits in cool conditions.
What materials is the gilet made from?
It is constructed from Polyamide and Polyester, featuring Extol Stretch fabric and Warmloft insulation.
How should I clean the gilet?
The gilet can be machine washed at 30°C with similar colors. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not bleach or iron.
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability, offering some resistance to light wind and moisture but is not intended for heavy rain.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
Yes, but it is best used as part of a layering system. In very cold weather, wear it over insulating layers and consider using a waterproof and windproof outer jacket.
How many pockets does it have, and are they secure?
The gilet features three pockets: two lower pockets and one chest pocket, all of which have zip fastenings for secure storage.
What does 'Hybrid' refer to in the product name?
The 'Hybrid' aspect refers to the combination of insulated quilted panels for warmth and stretch fabric panels (Extol Stretch) for enhanced mobility and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or catching.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it continues to catch, check for any fabric threads obstructing the track. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Gilet feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The stretch panels are designed for mobility, but overly bulky underlayers may reduce flexibility. Consider if a larger size is needed for significant layering.
Outer fabric feels damp after use in cool weather.
This is likely due to perspiration. The gilet is breathable, but in high humidity or during intense activity, some moisture can condense. Allow the gilet to air dry completely after use. If significant dampness persists, consider if a more waterproof outer layer is needed for the conditions.
