Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Gilet Professional is designed for men seeking lightweight, wind-resistant, and water-repellent outerwear for active or casual use. Its primary benefit is providing core warmth without restricting movement, making it ideal for transitional weather. A potential caveat is its minimalist design, which may not offer the same insulation as a fully padded jacket.

FAQs

What type of weather is this gilet best suited for?

It is ideal for cool, breezy, or mildly wet conditions. It provides wind resistance and protection from light rain, but is not designed for heavy downpours or extreme cold.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Regatta Professional Men's sizing guide provided. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the chart: XS (35-36in), S (37-38in), M (39-40in), L (41-42in), XL (43-44in), XXL (46-48in), XXXL (49-51in), XXXXL (52-54in).

Can I wear this over a thick jumper?

While the gilet is lightweight, wearing it over very thick layers might restrict movement. It is best suited for layering over thinner base layers, t-shirts, or lightweight fleeces.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the gilet has a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which means it will shed light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and will not protect against prolonged or heavy rain.

How should I clean the gilet?

You can machine wash it at 30°C. Avoid using bleach, tumble drying on high heat, or dry cleaning. Ironing should be done on a low heat setting.

What is the main difference between this and a padded jacket?

This gilet is unpadded and focuses on wind resistance, water repellency, and lightweight core warmth. A padded jacket typically offers more insulation for colder temperatures through filling materials like down or synthetic fibers.

Does the 'Professional' designation mean it's only for work?

The 'Professional' range from Regatta often signifies durable, practical outerwear suitable for work environments, but its features also make it highly functional for everyday outdoor activities and leisure.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too restrictive

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The stretch fabric should offer ample movement; if not, consider if the layer underneath is too bulky.

Water repellency seems reduced

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor fabrics after washing and drying.

Pockets feel small

The two zipped lower pockets are designed for essential items like keys or a phone. For larger items, consider wearing an additional layer with larger pockets or carrying a bag.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent wind resistance for outdoor activities.
  • Durable water repellent finish is practical for variable weather.
  • Lightweight construction ensures comfort and ease of movement.
  • Quick-drying properties are beneficial for active users.
  • Soft handle provides a comfortable feel.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient warmth in very cold conditions.
  • Minimalist design means fewer features compared to technical jackets.
  • Zipped pockets are practical but limited in number.
