Regatta Rurietta Hooded Gilet Bodywarmer - Black, 8

The Regatta Rurietta Gilet features a water-repellent finish, which means it will shed light rain and drizzle. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed to keep you dry in heavy or prolonged downpours.

Warmloft is Regatta's synthetic down-touch insulation. It's designed to mimic the warmth and feel of natural down, providing excellent insulation while remaining lightweight and often performing better in damp conditions than natural down.

While it provides warmth, the Rurietta gilet is best suited for cooler days in transitional seasons (spring, autumn) or as an extra layering piece under a heavier coat in milder winter conditions. For very cold winter weather, it should be part of a comprehensive layering system.

The gilet is designed to be a comfortable layering piece. We recommend referring to Regatta's size guide for accurate measurements. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you might consider sizing up for comfort.

Yes, the gilet features zipped lower pockets, which provide secure storage for your essentials, helping to prevent items from falling out during activity.

This gilet is ideal for casual outdoor activities such as walking, light hikes, gardening, shopping, or social gatherings where you need an extra layer of warmth and protection from light weather.

Ensure you are layering appropriately for the ambient temperature. This gilet is designed for lightweight warmth; for colder conditions, pair it with warmer base layers or wear a heavier jacket over it.

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time with wear and washing. Ensure you are following care label instructions, and consider using a re-proofing spray designed for outdoor clothing to rejuvenate the finish if necessary.

Check if the shockcord is tangled or obstructed within its channel. Gently pull the cord through the adjusters, ensuring it moves freely to achieve the desired fit.
