FAQs

What type of insulation does the Regatta Carlotte Gilet use?

It uses Warmloft down-touch insulation, which is a synthetic alternative designed to mimic the warmth and loft of down while offering better performance when wet.

How effective is the water-repellent finish?

The finish provides protection against light showers and splashes. It is not intended for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?

It provides good warmth for its weight, but for very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer over other garments like a fleece or warm jumper.

What are the washing instructions?

Machine wash inside out with similar colours at 30°C using a mild process. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low setting.

Is this gilet suitable for men?

No, this specific model (Carlotte) is designed for women, indicated by the 'Female' gender attribute. Regatta offers various gilets for different genders.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is made from lightweight 20D polyamide fabric with a Warmloft down-touch insulation fill.

Does it have any internal pockets?

Yes, it features one internal security pocket, in addition to two lower zipped pockets on the exterior.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels damp after light rain.

Ensure the gilet is fully dry before storing. The water-repellent finish is designed to shed light rain; prolonged exposure or heavier rain may lead to dampness. Allow to air dry completely.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. You can also use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax on the teeth to help them glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Insulation appears to be clumping.

This can happen after washing. Follow the tumble dry instructions carefully on a low heat setting, which helps to redistribute and fluff up the insulation. Gentle agitation during drying is key.
