Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is a versatile, lightweight sleeveless layer designed for adult men who need reliable core warmth without restricting arm movement. Engineered with a combination of Extol Stretch and Micro Poplin fabrics, this garment offers water-repellent protection and excellent flexibility for active outdoor use. While it excels as a mid-layer or standalone piece, the lack of a hood may be a limitation for those operating in heavy, sustained rainfall.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Full Zip Gilet windproof?
While not fully windproof like a hardshell, the dense Micro Poplin fabric provides excellent wind resistance for core comfort in breezy conditions.
Can I wear this under a rain jacket?
Yes, its low-profile, sleeveless design makes it an ideal mid-layer that won't create bulk inside your sleeves.
What is the best way to clean this gilet?
Machine wash at a low temperature (usually 30 or 40 degrees) and hang to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes, the integrated Extol Stretch panels allow for significant flexibility and movement in the torso and shoulder areas.
What does the embroidery access feature mean?
This means there is an internal opening or unlined section designed to allow a sewing machine to embroider logos on the outer fabric without stitching through the inner lining.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clear any debris or fabric caught in the teeth and gently rub a small amount of paraffin wax or a graphite pencil along the zipper track to lubricate it.
Water-repellent finish is failing
Wash the garment and apply a DWR-reproofer spray, then tumble dry on a low setting or iron on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent chemistry.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent freedom of movement due to sleeveless design
- Water-repellent fabric handles light rain and damp conditions
- Three secure zipped pockets for reliable storage
- Lightweight and packable for travel or hiking
- Stretch binding ensures a secure, comfortable fit
Cons
- No hood included for head protection
- Best suited for layering rather than heavy winter storms
- Polyester construction is not as breathable as natural wool blends
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for simple, immediate use. To maintain the water-repellent properties of the fabric, ensure you follow the care label strictly. Wash the garment on a cool cycle, preferably with a technical detergent that does not strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the weave and reduce the water-shedding performance. The gilet is fully compatible with waterproof shell jackets worn over the top, serving as an effective thermal mid-layer without adding unnecessary bulk around the arms.
