Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Carlotte women's gilet is designed for adult females seeking a weatherproof, warm, and lightweight layering option for everyday use. Its key benefit is providing cozy insulation without bulk, complemented by a water-repellent finish for light showers. A potential caveat is that it is best suited for light to moderate cool conditions, not extreme cold. Key features include down-touch insulation, a durable water-repellent finish, lightweight fabric construction, an internal security pocket, and two lower zipped pockets.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Carlotte gilet?

The Carlotte gilet is designed for everyday layering, providing warmth and protection against light showers without being bulky.

How warm is the insulation?

It features Warmloft down-touch insulation at 120gsm, offering cozy comfort suitable for mild to cool conditions.

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

No, it has a water-repellent finish suitable for light showers. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof garment is recommended.

How should I clean the gilet?

It is machine washable, following the specific instructions on the care label, typically on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Tumble dry on low.

What materials is the gilet made from?

The main fabric is lightweight 20d polyamide (37gsm), and it features synthetic Warmloft down-touch insulation.

Does it have internal pockets?

Yes, it includes an internal security pocket for valuable items, in addition to two lower zipped pockets.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

It's best suited as a layering piece. For very cold weather, you would need to wear it over warmer layers and potentially under a heavier outer coat.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels damp after light rain.

The water-repellent finish is designed for light showers. For heavier rain, consider wearing a waterproof outer layer. Ensure the DWR finish is maintained through proper washing and occasional re-application if needed.

Loss of insulation warmth.

Ensure the gilet is clean. Lint or dirt can compress the insulation. Follow care instructions for washing and drying. Avoid over-drying on high heat.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently run a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate them. Ensure zippers are fully opened before closing.
