Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hillpack II men's padded gilet is designed for active adults seeking core warmth and freedom of movement during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is its compressible, warm insulation combined with water-repellent fabric for protection against light showers. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for light showers, not heavy downpours. Key features include its ability to lock in core heat, water-repellent finish, and secure zipped pockets for essentials.

FAQs
What is the primary function of the Hillpack II gilet?
The primary function is to provide core body warmth and allow freedom of movement, making it ideal for active outdoor use.
Can this gilet be worn in heavy rain?
No, the gilet features a water-repellent finish suitable for light showers only. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer is recommended.
How should I clean the gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter conditions?
It provides good insulation for its weight, but for extreme cold, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer garments.
How do I store the gilet to maintain its warmth?
Store it loosely, not tightly compressed, to preserve the loft of the insulation.
What materials is the gilet made from?
The gilet is made from Nylon with insulating padding.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the gilet is completely dry and has been allowed to regain its loft after compression. Check that it is layered appropriately for the temperature.
Water repellency has decreased.
The water-repellent finish may need refreshing. Consider using a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel, following product instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Regatta Hillpack II gilet requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This gilet is designed for men and is suitable for adult use. It can be layered over t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, or fleeces for added warmth. It pairs well with hiking trousers, jeans, or outdoor activewear.
Care: To maintain the gilet's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
