Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Gilet is designed for men seeking a lightweight and comfortable layering piece for outdoor activities or work. Its key benefit is providing wind resistance and a durable water-repellent finish without bulk. A potential caveat is that its lightweight nature may not offer significant insulation in very cold conditions. This gilet features Softshell Stretch Light fabric technology for ease of movement and a super soft handle for comfort. It is quick-drying and easy to wear, making it a practical addition to any wardrobe.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, this gilet features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can withstand light rain and splashes but is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This gilet is lightweight and designed for wind resistance and light protection. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer over insulating clothing, rather than as the primary outer layer.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the Regatta Professional Mens sizing guide provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the listed sizes.

What is the benefit of the stretch fabric?

The stretch fabric allows for greater freedom of movement, making the gilet comfortable to wear during physical activities or while working, without feeling restrictive.

How should I wash the gilet to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean. This helps preserve the fabric's softness and water-repellent finish.

Does it have internal pockets?

The product description mentions two zipped lower pockets, which are external. It does not specify internal pockets.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels slightly stiff after washing.

Iron on a low heat setting as per care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents which can affect the water-repellent finish.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away and try again. If persistent, a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip can help lubricate the teeth.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need replenishing after multiple washes. Consider using a specialized fabric re-proofer spray suitable for outdoor clothing.
