Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is a versatile, lightweight outer layer designed for active adults who require freedom of movement and protection from the elements. Engineered with advanced Extol Stretch and water-repellent Micro Poplin, this gilet serves as an ideal mid-layer for hiking or a standalone piece for casual outdoor use; however, its sleeveless design provides less core warmth than a full-sleeved jacket, making it best suited for transitional weather or high-exertion activities.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I wear this over a bulky jacket?
The gilet is designed as a mid-layer or outer layer over a t-shirt or base layer; wearing it over a bulky jacket may restrict movement.
What is Extol Stretch?
Extol Stretch is Regatta's proprietary fabric technology designed for high-energy activities, offering both durability and superior flexibility.
Can I add my company logo to the gilet?
Yes, the gilet features specific embroidery access points to allow for easy branding without compromising the garment's integrity.
How should I choose the right size?
The gilet follows standard sizing. For a closer, more athletic fit, choose your usual size, or size up if you intend to layer it over thick sweaters.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
Re-activate the water-repellent finish by washing and then air-drying, or consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clean any debris from the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant to ensure smooth movement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent freedom of movement due to sleeveless construction
- Water-repellent fabric handles light showers effectively
- Ample storage with three zippered pockets
- Lightweight and easy to layer under heavy coats
- Stretch binding ensures a secure, comfortable fit
Cons
- Provides no arm or shoulder protection from cold or wind
- Not intended for heavy, prolonged rainfall
- Standard polyester construction may feel less premium than wool blends
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your gilet performing optimally, machine wash it on a cool cycle with non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish on the Micro Poplin fabric. Hang-dry the garment in a well-ventilated area rather than using a tumble dryer to preserve the elasticity of the stretch binding. For embroidery or customization, use the internal access points to ensure the outer shell remains intact and functional.
