Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Gilet Marizion is designed for adult women seeking lightweight insulation for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, thanks to its faux down, feather-free filling. A potential caveat is its sleeveless design, which might require layering in very cold weather. This gilet features a durable water repellent finish, a full zip fastening, and two secure side pockets.

FAQs
What type of filling does this gilet use?
The gilet uses a 'Faux Down' filling, which is a feather-free, recycled alternative to traditional down, designed to provide warmth and insulation.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
While it provides good insulation, the sleeveless design means it's best suited for cool to mild conditions on its own. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over or under other warm garments.
How do I clean the gilet?
Machine wash inside out with similar colours on a gentle cycle at 30°C or 40°C. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls.
What does DWR Finish mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This finish helps water bead off the surface of the fabric, providing protection against light rain and snow.
Can I put this gilet in the washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it. It's important to wash it inside out, on a gentle cycle, with similar colours, and avoid bleach.
How can I restore the gilet's loft after washing?
Tumble drying on a low heat setting, ideally with a few tennis balls, can help to fluff up and redistribute the faux down filling after washing.
What sizes are available for this gilet?
This gilet is available in various UK women's dress sizes, including 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20. Please refer to the product details for specific size measurements.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels damp or less insulating after washing.
Ensure the gilet is completely dry. Tumble drying on a low heat with tennis balls can help restore the loft and insulation of the faux down filling. Break apart any clumps of filling manually once dry.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If necessary, use a pencil graphite or a silicone-based lubricant on the zipper teeth.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The DWR finish may have worn off over time. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics after washing and drying to restore water repellency.
