Regatta Professional Quilted Hybrid Gilet - Blue - S

Warmloft filling provides excellent insulation to keep you warm, similar to down but performs better when damp and is lightweight.

Extol Stretch fabric is integrated into panels that allow for greater freedom of movement, making the gilet more comfortable and functional during physical activities.

This gilet is primarily designed for warmth and is not waterproof. It can offer some resistance to light drizzle but is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet weather.

It pairs well with t-shirts, long-sleeved base layers, or light fleeces. It can also be worn under a waterproof or windproof jacket for added warmth and protection.

The gilet features two lower pockets and one chest pocket, all secured with zips to keep your belongings safe.

For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece. Worn over a warm base layer and under a protective outer shell, it significantly enhances thermal protection. On its own, it's suitable for moderate cold.

Quilted refers to the construction method where the outer fabric and the insulating filling are stitched together in a pattern, often diamonds or squares. This keeps the filling evenly distributed and prevents it from shifting.

Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the Regatta Professional size chart. If between sizes, consider sizing up. The stretch panels offer some flexibility, but proper sizing is key.

Ensure the gilet was washed and dried according to care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat, which can damage the filling. A gentle tumble dry on low heat can help re-loft the insulation.
