Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Marizion Gilet is designed for adult women seeking a lightweight, insulating layer for active pursuits or casual wear. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, thanks to its faux down, feather-free recycled filling and DWR finish. A potential caveat for some users might be the sleeveless design, which may not offer sufficient warmth in extreme cold without additional layers.

FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
The Regatta Marizion Gilet is designed for moderate temperatures and provides good insulation. For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece under a heavier jacket.
What does 'Faux Down, Feather-Free, Recycled' mean?
This means the filling is made from synthetic materials that mimic the warmth and loft of down, but without using any feathers or animal products. It is also made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.
How do I wash the gilet?
Machine wash inside out with similar colors on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls.
What is a DWR finish?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a treatment applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, protecting you from light rain and snow.
Can I wear this gilet for sports?
Yes, its lightweight and breathable design makes it suitable for various outdoor activities like walking, hiking, or cycling in mild weather.
What size should I choose?
The gilet is available in various UK women's dress sizes. It's recommended to check the Regatta size guide for accurate measurements to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Gilet loses its loft and insulation
Ensure the gilet is being dried correctly, ideally on a low heat tumble dry with tennis balls to help break up the filling and restore its loft. Avoid high heat drying.
Water repellency seems reduced
The DWR finish may need refreshing. Clean the gilet according to care instructions, and then apply a suitable waterproofing spray designed for outdoor clothing. Follow the product's instructions for application and heat-setting if required.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth.
