FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Regatta Professional Insulated Gilet?

The gilet is designed to provide core body warmth and protection against light rain and wind, making it ideal for outdoor activities in cool or variable weather conditions.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

While it offers good insulation, its sleeveless design means it is best suited as a mid-layer or outer layer in cool to mild conditions. For very cold weather, layering with additional warm clothing is recommended.

How do I wash the gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat for drying or ironing. Do not dry clean.

Is the gilet waterproof?

The gilet has a water-repellent finish, which means it can withstand light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.

What does 'Made from Recycled Materials' mean?

This indicates that the gilet has been constructed using recycled polyester, contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing waste.

Can I wear this gilet for sports?

Yes, its quick-dry properties and freedom of movement make it suitable for moderate-intensity outdoor sports and activities where core warmth is desired.

What type of collar does it have?

It features a standing collar, which helps to protect the neck from wind and cold.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the gilet is clean. Accumulated dirt and oils can reduce the effectiveness of the insulation. Check that the full zip is closed properly and the collar is up to prevent heat loss.

Water repellency is reduced.

Re-apply a water-repellent treatment suitable for polyester fabrics. Follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as this can degrade the water-repellent finish.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface.

This can occur with normal wear. Gently remove any pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Avoid excessive friction in high-wear areas.
