Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is a versatile, performance-oriented sleeveless layer ideal for active men seeking core warmth without sacrificing arm mobility. Combining durable Micro Poplin with flexible Extol Stretch fabric, it offers excellent freedom of movement and protection against light rain through a water-repellent finish; however, as a sleeveless garment, it is best suited for layering rather than standalone use in extreme cold.

FAQs

Is the Regatta Full Zip Gilet windproof?

While it is not fully windproof, the dense Micro Poplin fabric provides significant protection against cool breezes.

Can this be worn under a heavy coat?

Yes, its low-profile design and sleeveless cut make it an ideal mid-layer for extra core warmth.

What is the material composition?

It is crafted from high-quality, durable polyester with integrated Extol Stretch panels for mobility.

Is the gilet machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable; please follow the instructions on the inner care label for the best results.

Does the gilet offer UV protection?

While it provides general skin coverage, it is not rated as a specific UPF garment.

Can I add custom embroidery to it?

Yes, the construction of this gilet specifically allows for easy embroidery access, making it great for logos.

Troubleshooting

Water-repellency seems to be wearing off.

Re-treat the outer fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after a thorough wash to restore the finish.

Zip feels stiff or sticks.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; if it continues to stick, lightly rub a pencil lead or wax along the teeth to lubricate them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to Extol Stretch fabric
  • Lightweight and ideal for layering under jackets or over base layers
  • Water-repellent finish protects against light drizzle
  • Three separate pockets for secure storage
  • Professional look suitable for casual or work settings

  • Not intended for heavy, sustained downpours
  • Requires layering to be effective in freezing temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This gilet is designed for simple, everyday maintenance. To maintain the water-repellent finish, ensure you follow the care label instructions, typically involving a cool machine wash with non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can impair the water-repellent properties of the synthetic polyester fibers. Due to the stretch binding, hang the garment to dry rather than using high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the elasticity. The gilet is highly compatible with fleece mid-layers or lightweight waterproof shells, making it a modular addition to any outdoor kit.
