Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is a versatile, performance-oriented mid-layer designed for active men who need freedom of movement and light weather protection during outdoor pursuits. Constructed from durable Extol Stretch micro poplin, it offers an excellent balance of flexibility and water resistance, making it an ideal choice for hiking, gardening, or casual layering. While it excels at providing core warmth without restricting arm movement, users should note that the gilet is designed as a lightweight outer or mid-layer and does not offer the heavy insulation found in down-filled vests.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it will shed light rain, but it is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours.

Can I use this for embroidery?

Yes, the gilet is designed with easy embroidery access, making it a great choice for club or corporate branding.

How should I wash it?

Use a gentle machine wash cycle at low temperatures without fabric softeners.

Is the fabric breathable?

Yes, the Extol Stretch fabric is highly breathable, making it excellent for active pursuits where you need to regulate temperature.

What does XS size mean for this brand?

Regatta sizes follow standard adult sizing. XS is designed for a lean or smaller athletic build.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the gilet, then apply a technical fabric reproofing spray to restore water resistance.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Check for loose threads or fabric caught in the track. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of dry lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High flexibility due to Extol Stretch fabric
  • Lightweight and packable for travel
  • Water-repellent performance for changing weather
  • Ample pocket storage
  • Clean, professional aesthetic suitable for casual and active wear

Cons

  • Not insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures
  • Sleeveless design means less coverage than a full jacket
  • Polyester material requires careful laundering to maintain water-repellency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Regatta Full Zip Gilet in peak condition, proper care is essential. Always consult the care label inside the garment. Generally, you should machine wash the gilet on a gentle cycle at a low temperature using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent finish from the micro poplin fabric.

For best results, air dry the item away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the water-repellency fades over time, you can apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment to restore its performance. The gilet is compatible with a wide range of layering systems, fitting perfectly underneath a heavier waterproof shell during harsher winter conditions.
