Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Women's Hillpack II gilet is designed for adult females seeking lightweight, packable warmth for everyday layering. Its key benefit is providing insulated comfort without the bulk of a full jacket, perfect for transitional weather. A potential caveat is that it is sleeveless, offering less protection in colder conditions. Key features include synthetic down filling, a water-repellent finish, and a compressible design for easy storage.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the synthetic down filling?

The synthetic down filling provides warmth without bulk and retains its insulating properties even if it gets damp, unlike natural down. It's also a cruelty-free alternative.

Can this gilet be worn in heavy rain?

The gilet has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or drizzle. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain and would not be considered waterproof.

How should I clean the gilet?

Machine wash at 40°C using liquid detergent, do not use fabric softener, and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid bleaching and ironing.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

It is designed for lightweight warmth and layering. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer or combined with a warmer outer jacket.

What does 'packaway' mean?

Packaway means the gilet is designed to be easily compressed and folded into a small size, making it convenient to store in a backpack or pocket when not in use.

Does this gilet contain any animal products?

No, the filling is synthetic down, and the product is described as cruelty-free.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided in the product details. For example, a UK size 14 corresponds to a 38-inch chest measurement.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels bulky after washing

Ensure the gilet is completely dry after tumble drying on a low heat. You may need to add a couple of clean tennis balls to the dryer to help break up the filling.

Water repellency seems reduced

Over time and after several washes, the water-repellent finish may diminish. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor clothing to restore this feature.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to ease the fabric out. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
