Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Gilet Professional is designed for men seeking a lightweight, comfortable, and protective layer for outdoor activities or work. Its key benefit is providing wind and water resistance without compromising on breathability or ease of movement. A potential caveat is that its lightweight nature may not offer sufficient insulation for extreme cold.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Softshell Stretch Light fabric?

The Softshell Stretch Light fabric provides a combination of breathability, wind resistance, and a water-repellent finish, all within a lightweight and flexible material that allows for easy movement.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet is designed for lightweight protection. While it offers wind resistance and can be layered, it provides minimal insulation and may not be sufficient on its own for very cold temperatures. Layering with warmer garments is recommended for colder conditions.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the Regatta Professional Men's sizing guide provided: XS (35-36in chest), S (37-38in), M (39-40in), L (41-42in), XL (43-44in), XXL (46-48in), XXXL (49-51in), XXXXL (52-54in).

Can I wash the gilet in a machine?

Yes, the gilet is machine washable at 40°C. Follow the care instructions: do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, iron on low heat, and do not dry clean.

What does 'Durable Water Repellent finish' mean?

A DWR finish is a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep you dry from light rain or splashes. This finish can wear off over time and may need reapplication.

What are the pockets like?

The gilet features two zipped lower pockets, suitable for securely storing small personal items like keys or a phone.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Regatta Professional Men's sizing guide (XS: 35-36in chest, S: 37-38in, M: 39-40in, L: 41-42in, XL: 43-44in, XXL: 46-48in, XXXL: 49-51in, XXXXL: 52-54in). The stretch fabric should allow for a comfortable fit.

Water repellency seems reduced

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can diminish over time with washing. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor clothing after washing and drying.

Zippers are stiff

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate them. Avoid forcing the zipper.
