Regatta Hillpack II Gilet - Green - XL

The Hillpack II gilet provides good core warmth and is ideal for mild to cool conditions. For extreme cold, it is best used as a layer over other warm garments, such as a fleece, and potentially under a heavier outer jacket.

You can machine wash the gilet at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat or air dry.

Water-repellent fabric resists saturation from light moisture like drizzle or mist. It will bead water off the surface for a short period. It is not designed to keep you dry in heavy rain or prolonged wet exposure.

Yes, the gilet is designed to be layered. Wearing a fleece underneath is a common and effective way to increase warmth in colder temperatures.

The zipped pockets are designed to securely store small personal items like keys, a phone, or energy snacks, keeping them accessible and protected from the elements during your activities.

Yes, the gilet is designed to be compressible, meaning it can be packed down into a small size, making it easy to carry in a backpack when not needed.

Ensure the gilet is clean; dirt and oils can reduce insulation. Check that the zipped pockets are fully closed to prevent drafts. Consider wearing a warmer base layer underneath.

The fabric is water-repellent, not waterproof. For prolonged or heavy rain, an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended. Reapplying a water-repellent treatment may be necessary if performance has significantly decreased over time.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax (like a candle) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
