Regatta Gilet Hillpack II - Parchment Black - Size 18

Synthetic down offers excellent insulation, is bulk-free, and crucially, retains its insulating properties even when damp, unlike natural down.

The gilet features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy downpours.

This gilet is best suited as a layering piece or an outer layer in mild to cool conditions. For very cold winter weather, it would be more effective worn over insulating layers rather than as the sole outer garment.

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Regatta. The gilet is designed for a comfortable fit that allows for layering underneath. Check the UK dress size conversion if applicable.

'Packaway' means the gilet is designed to be easily compressed and folded into a small size, making it convenient to carry in a bag or backpack.

Yes, this gilet is made from recycled materials and uses cruelty-free synthetic down, aligning with sustainability efforts.

Place the gilet in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. The action of the balls will help to break up clumps and restore the loft of the synthetic filling.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to lubricate the zipper teeth. Ensure there are no fabric snags in the zipper track.

Washing can sometimes affect the water-repellent treatment. Consider using a specific waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel to restore its performance. Follow the product instructions carefully.
