FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?
The Regatta Hillpack II Gilet features a water-repellent fabric, which is designed to shed light showers. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rain.
How warm is this gilet?
The gilet is designed to lock in core heat and is warm for its weight, making it ideal as a layering piece or for moderate conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over or under other insulating garments.
Can I wear this gilet for intense physical activity?
Yes, the design and insulation allow for freedom of movement, making it suitable for active pursuits like hiking. Its compressibility also means you can pack it away easily if you warm up during strenuous activity.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for men's apparel. It is recommended to check the specific garment measurements if available, as fit preferences can vary.
What material is the gilet made from?
The gilet is crafted from a durable polyamide fabric.
How should I care for the gilet to maintain its water repellency?
Follow the washing instructions carefully. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impact water repellency. Re-applying a suitable water-repellent treatment after washing can help restore its performance.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm after washing
Ensure the gilet is fully dry and consider tumble drying on a low heat with tennis balls to help re-loft the insulation.
Water repellency seems reduced
After thorough washing and drying, you may need to re-apply a water-repellent treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics. Follow product instructions carefully.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm, soapy water. Ensure no debris is caught in the mechanism. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or wax if necessary.
