Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult women seeking a lightweight and versatile layering piece for moderate weather. The Regatta Marizion Gilet offers excellent insulation with its feather-free, recycled faux down filling and a water-resistant DWR finish, making it ideal for outdoor activities. However, its sleeveless design means it provides minimal warmth for the arms and is best suited as a mid-layer rather than a primary outer garment in very cold conditions. Key features include a recycled, feather-free insulation, a DWR finish for water resistance, a comfortable stretch binding, and practical zipped pockets.

FAQs
What is the filling made of?
The filling is 'Faux Down, Feather-Free, Recycled'. This means it uses synthetic fibres designed to mimic down, made from recycled materials, and is completely free of animal feathers.
Is the gilet waterproof?
The gilet features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which provides resistance to light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy or prolonged rainfall.
Can this gilet be worn in cold weather?
Yes, it provides insulation and can be worn on its own in mild to cool weather, or as a mid-layer under a jacket for added warmth in colder conditions. It is sleeveless, so arm warmth will depend on the layers underneath.
How should I clean the gilet?
You can machine wash it at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on a low setting or line dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does '20D' refer to?
'20D' refers to the denier of the fabric, which is a measure of its thickness and density. A lower denier, such as 20D, indicates a finer, lighter-weight fabric, contributing to the gilet's overall lightness.
What does 'Stretch Binding' do?
Stretch binding is used on the armholes and hem to provide a closer, more comfortable fit. It helps to prevent drafts and ensures the gilet stays securely in place during movement.
Is this gilet suitable for vegans?
Yes, the gilet is described as 'Cruelty Free' and uses recycled faux down, making it a suitable option for vegans and those seeking cruelty-free apparel.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If fabric is caught, carefully pull the fabric away. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth can help lubricate it.
Gilet has lost some water repellency
Clean the gilet according to the care instructions. For enhanced water repellency, consider using a re-waterproofing spray suitable for synthetic fabrics after washing and drying.
Fabric appears creased after washing
Avoid high heat drying. If creases persist, a very low heat iron can be used sparingly, preferably with a pressing cloth, though ironing is generally not recommended.
