FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to resist light rain but is not fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
Can I put my company logo on this?
Yes, the gilet is designed with embroidery access, making it very easy to add custom branding.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash at a low temperature with mild detergent. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners.
Is the material stretchy?
The fabric is durable polyester, and the cuffs and hem include stretch binding to ensure a snug, flexible fit.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the chest pocket is specifically designed to hold modern smartphones securely with a zip closure.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric during light rain.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Wash the garment to remove dirt and reactivate with a spray-on DWR treatment.
Zip feels stiff or sticks.
Check for loose threads or debris caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, apply a small amount of dry lubricant or wax to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-repellent properties of the polyester fabric, wash the gilet in cool water using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-repellent coating over time. Always hang to dry rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, which can damage the stretch binding. The gilet is highly compatible with other Regatta technical layers; it fits well under a heavy-duty waterproof shell or over a standard technical shirt for year-round layering strategies.
