Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Life Fairbanks Gilet is a versatile outerwear staple designed for women who prioritize both style and core warmth during transitional weather. Featuring a soft faux shearling lining and a water-repellent finish, it provides reliable comfort during light outdoor activities. While it excels at layering, it is best suited for mild to cool days rather than heavy winter storms, as its sleeveless design leaves arms exposed to the elements.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Life Fairbanks Gilet machine washable?
Yes, it is generally machine washable, but always check the care label inside the garment for specific temperature and cycle recommendations.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
The gilet features a showerproof finish for light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon for heavy or prolonged downpours.
How should I choose my size?
The gilet is designed for layering; we recommend choosing your standard size, but if you plan to wear very thick knits underneath, you may consider if a roomier fit is preferred.
Does it have pockets?
The design typically includes side pockets, making it practical for carrying small essentials like keys or a phone.
Is the lining removable?
No, the faux shearling lining is permanently integrated into the design to ensure consistent warmth.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need refreshing; apply a garment-safe waterproofing spray.
Faux shearling feels matted
Gently brush the lining with a soft-bristled garment brush after the gilet is completely dry.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Easy to layer over bulky sweaters or long-sleeve shirts

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Fairbanks Gilet in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Check the internal care label for specific washing instructions, generally suggesting a gentle machine wash at a low temperature.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the texture of the faux shearling lining.
- Water-Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent coating may wear off. You can refresh this using a specialized fabric reproofing spray if water stops beading on the surface.
- Storage: Store on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the garment's shape during the off-season.
