FAQs
Is the Regatta Marizion Gilet suitable for winter?
It is best used as a layering piece under a jacket during winter. It provides excellent core warmth but is not designed as a standalone piece for sub-zero temperatures.
Does it contain animal products?
No, this gilet uses feather-free synthetic insulation, making it a cruelty-free option.
How do I determine my size?
The gilet follows standard sizing; check the label for your specific size. The design is intended to have a slightly snug fit for better thermal retention.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but use a mild detergent and a gentle cycle to ensure the synthetic insulation does not clump.
Is the fabric noisy when moving?
The material is designed to be soft and lightweight, avoiding the 'crinkly' noise associated with some low-quality outdoor gear.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR finish has likely worn off; apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent properties.
Zip feels stiff or sticks during operation.
Check the zip teeth for debris or fabric caught in the track; clean with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet lasts, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature, ideally on a delicate cycle to preserve the integrity of the insulation.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying, use the lowest heat setting.
- DWR Maintenance: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. You can refresh this by using a garment-specific DWR re-proofer spray.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a wide hanger when not in use to maintain its shape, rather than folding it tightly for extended periods.
