FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The Regatta Carlotte Gilet has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can withstand light showers. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the product sizing chart provided by Regatta. This gilet is designed for women and typically runs true to size for layering.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The gilet provides good warmth for its weight thanks to the Warmloft insulation. For extremely cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a more insulated or waterproof outer jacket.
What is 'down-touch insulation'?
Down-touch insulation mimics the warmth and loft of natural down but is made from synthetic fibres. This provides excellent warmth while being easier to care for and performing better when damp.
How do I clean the gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry.
What does the 'curved hem detail' do?
The curved hem is a design feature that provides a more flattering silhouette and can offer slightly extended coverage at the back.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the gilet is properly layered. If the insulation becomes compressed, gently tumble dry on a low heat setting to help restore loft.
Water beads on the surface less effectively.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Consider using a DWR re-proofing spray suitable for outdoor clothing after cleaning.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
