Regatta Carlotte Gilet - Blue - Size: 14

The gilet is ideal for cool, dry weather or as a layering piece under a jacket for added warmth. The water-repellent finish offers protection against light showers.

While it has a water-repellent finish, it is not waterproof. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer jacket over the gilet.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a similar colour using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore loft.

The insulation is synthetic, described as 'Warmloft down-touch insulation', designed to mimic the warmth of down without the weight or water sensitivity.

This refers to the fabric's construction. '20d' indicates the denier (thickness of the individual fibres), and '37gsm' (grams per square meter) refers to its lightweight density, contributing to the overall lightness of the gilet.

It provides good warmth for its weight and is excellent for layering. For very cold conditions, it would likely need to be worn as a mid-layer under a warmer, insulated outer jacket.

Yes, the gilet features one internal security pocket for storing small valuables.

Ensure the gilet is fully dry and that the synthetic insulation has been restored to its full loft. Tumble drying on a low heat with tennis balls can help re-fluff the insulation.

The DWR finish can wear off over time. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor clothing after thorough washing and drying.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

For minor unravelling, a fabric repair kit or needle and thread can be used for a simple stitch. For significant damage, contact customer support or a professional tailor.
