Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Gilet is designed for active women seeking core warmth without restriction. Its primary benefit is providing insulation and water repellency in a lightweight, flexible package. A potential caveat is that it is a gilet, meaning it does not offer arm coverage, which may not be sufficient for extreme cold. This versatile bodywarmer features a durable polyamide main body with a water-repellent finish, Warmloft down-touch insulation for compressible warmth, and Extol Stretch panels for enhanced mobility, making it ideal for hikes, walks, and general outdoor adventures.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Extol Stretch panels?

The Extol Stretch panels are designed to enhance agility and freedom of movement, allowing the gilet to move with you during physical activities.

Is the gilet waterproof?

The gilet has a water-repellent finish, which means it can withstand light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.

How should I clean the gilet?

You can machine wash the gilet inside out with similar colours using liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat.

Can I wear this in very cold winter conditions?

While it provides good core warmth, the gilet lacks arm insulation. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer garments or under a heavier outer jacket.

Is the insulation down?

No, the insulation is Warmloft down-touch, which mimics the warmth and compressibility of down but is made from synthetic materials.

What does 'gilet' mean?

A gilet, also known as a bodywarmer, is a sleeveless jacket that provides core warmth without covering the arms.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm after washing.

Ensure the gilet is fully dry and the insulation has regained its loft. Tumble drying on a low heat with wool balls can help restore insulation volume.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Consider using a specialized re-proofing spray designed for outdoor clothing after cleaning.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
