Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is a versatile, sleeveless outer layer designed for active adults who need reliable core warmth without restricting arm movement. Combining high-performance Extol Stretch and durable Micro Poplin fabrics, this gilet excels as a mid-layer or lightweight outer piece in shifting weather conditions; however, its water-repellent finish is intended for light showers rather than sustained heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain and showers, but it is not seam-sealed or rated for heavy, prolonged rain.
Can I wear this over a thick sweater?
Yes, the cut is designed for layering, though you may prefer sizing up if you plan to wear it over particularly bulky knitwear.
What is the benefit of the Extol Stretch fabric?
Extol Stretch is a high-performance material that provides extra flexibility, ensuring the garment moves with your body during active tasks.
How should I store the gilet?
Store it hanging in a dry, ventilated area to maintain the shape of the collar and shoulders.
Can I add my company logo to this gilet?
Yes, the gilet includes built-in embroidery access, making it a professional choice for branded workwear.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clear any fabric or debris trapped in the zipper teeth and rub a small amount of candle wax or pencil graphite on the teeth to lubricate.
Water no longer beads on the surface
The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment to restore performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup. For care, wash the gilet in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish over time. Always close the zips before washing to prevent snagging. Hang the gilet to air dry; avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the stretch fabric properties. If you notice water no longer beads off the fabric, you can re-apply a standard spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to maintain its weather-shedding capabilities.
