Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is a versatile, sleeveless layering piece designed for active adults who need a balance of warmth and mobility during outdoor pursuits. Featuring a combination of Extol Stretch and Micro Poplin fabrics, it offers essential water repellency and flexible movement, though it lacks the insulation of a full-sleeve jacket, making it best suited for transitional weather or as a mid-layer.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain showers, but it is not waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.
What is Extol Stretch fabric?
Extol Stretch is a proprietary fabric technology by Regatta designed to provide high levels of stretch, allowing for greater freedom of movement during active use.
Can I wash this gilet in a machine?
Yes, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners to protect the fabric's properties.
Does it have enough pockets for a phone?
Yes, the gilet features a zipped chest pocket which is generally suitable for storing a smartphone securely.
Can I wear this over a thick hoodie?
Yes, the full zip and flexible materials allow it to be worn over thicker layers, though you may prefer to size up if you plan to wear bulky clothing underneath.
What is the embroidery access feature for?
It allows for companies or clubs to embroider logos onto the gilet without stitching through the inner lining, keeping the interior clean and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
Apply a specialized technical fabric re-proofer spray to restore the water-repellent finish.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track and consider applying a dry silicone lubricant if it remains difficult to operate.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Water-repellent finish for light rain protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a simple, full-zip garment, no complex setup is required. To maintain the performance of the fabric, machine wash on a cool setting with mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the water-repellent treatment. Always check the internal care label for specific temperature guidance. When layering, the gilet pairs well with long-sleeve thermal tops, light fleece jackets, or even under waterproof shell jackets if extra protection is needed.
