Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Marizion Gilet in Navy, size 14, is designed for adult women seeking a lightweight yet warm outerwear layer. Its key benefit lies in its excellent insulation using recycled, feather-free 'Faux Down' filling, offering warmth without bulk. A potential caveat is its water resistance, which is achieved through a DWR finish and is not fully waterproof, meaning it's best suited for light showers rather than heavy rain. This gilet is a sustainable and cruelty-free choice for everyday wear.

FAQs
What is the filling made of?
The gilet is filled with 'Faux Down', which is a feather-free, recycled synthetic insulation, providing warmth and loft without animal products.
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, it is not fully waterproof. It features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish that offers resistance to light rain and showers, but it is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy precipitation.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the garment measurements provided. For the size 14 UK, the chest measurement is 38 inches. It's recommended to measure your own chest and compare.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
While it provides good insulation, for very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer garments like fleeces or sweaters, rather than as the sole outer layer.
How should I wash the gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat. Fasten all zips before washing.
What does '20D' material mean?
The '20D' refers to the denier count of the fabric, which is a measure of its thickness and density. A lower denier count like 20D indicates a lightweight and fine fabric, contributing to the gilet's overall light feel.
Is this a sustainable product?
Yes, this gilet is considered a sustainable choice as it uses recycled filling material and is cruelty-free.
Troubleshooting
Gilet not providing enough warmth
Ensure the gilet is fully zipped and the collar is raised. For colder conditions, layer it over additional warm clothing like a fleece or jumper.
Water repellency seems reduced
The DWR finish can diminish over time. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing, following the product's instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
