FAQs

What is 'down-touch' insulation?

Down-touch insulation is a synthetic filling designed to mimic the loft, warmth, and softness of natural down, but it offers better performance when wet and is often easier to care for.

How do I know if I need a size up or down?

Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta. This gilet is designed for layering, so consider if you plan to wear thick items underneath. Generally, choose your standard size for a comfortable fit over a t-shirt or light layer.

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

No, the Carlotte gilet has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light showers and mist. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

Can I machine wash the gilet?

Yes, you can machine wash the gilet at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat drying or ironing.

What is the fill weight of the insulation?

The insulation weight for the Warmloft down-touch insulation is 120gsm.

Does this gilet have pockets for hands?

Yes, it features two lower pockets that are zipped to keep your hands warm or secure small items.

Is there a pocket for a phone or wallet?

Yes, there is an internal security pocket, which is ideal for storing valuables like a phone or wallet safely.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm after washing

Ensure the gilet is fully dry. Synthetic insulation can sometimes clump slightly when wet; tumble drying on a low setting with a dryer ball can help restore loft. Avoid high heat.

Water-repellent finish seems less effective

The water-repellent finish can wear off over time. Consider re-applying a suitable water-repellent treatment designed for outdoor apparel after washing, following the product's instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can lubricate the teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to improve its movement. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
