Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Gilet Hillpack II is designed for adult females seeking lightweight, insulating outerwear. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, making it ideal for layering or as a standalone piece in milder conditions. A potential caveat is its water-repellent nature, not full waterproofing, meaning prolonged heavy rain may penetrate.

FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The Gilet Hillpack II is designed for mild to moderate conditions. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer under a heavier insulated jacket.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the sizing chart provided. The product description lists measurements for various UK sizes (e.g., UK 14: 38 in chest).

Can I wear this gilet in the rain?

The fabric is water repellent, meaning it will shed light rain or splashes. It is not waterproof and may not keep you dry in prolonged or heavy rainfall.

What does 'packaway' mean?

Packaway means the gilet can be easily compressed and stored in a small bag or pocket, making it convenient for travel or when you need to stow it away.

Is the synthetic down fill animal-friendly?

Yes, the filling is synthetic and feather-free, ensuring it is cruelty-free. The product also states it is made from recycled materials.

How should I clean the gilet to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Refer to the care label for precise instructions.

What are the pocket closures like?

The gilet features two lower pockets, both equipped with zips to keep your belongings secure.

Troubleshooting

Gilet has lost its loft after washing

Tumble dry on a low heat setting, preferably with clean tennis balls, to help break up clumps and restore the fill's puffiness.

Zipper is stiff or catching

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

Water repellency seems reduced

This can occur over time with wear and washing. Consider applying a re-waterproofing treatment designed for synthetic outdoor clothing, following the product's instructions.
