Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is designed for active adults who require a versatile, lightweight layering piece for outdoor pursuits. It offers the key benefit of enhanced mobility through its specialized stretch fabric technology while providing essential water repellency against light weather. While it is excellent for layering, it does not provide the same thermal insulation as a fully-lined down jacket, making it best suited for transitional weather or high-intensity movement.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Full Zip Gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it resists light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and will soak through in heavy or sustained rain.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the garment to protect the elastic stretch fibers and the DWR coating.
Does it provide enough warmth for winter?
This gilet is intended as a layering piece. It provides core warmth but should be worn under a heavier coat in sub-zero temperatures.
What is Extol Stretch fabric?
Extol Stretch is a proprietary fabric technology that combines durable synthetic fibers with high levels of elastane for maximum flexibility.
Is this gilet true to size?
The fit follows standard sizing guidelines for activewear; however, if you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may consider checking the measurements for a comfortable fit.
Can the chest pocket fit a large phone?
The chest pocket is designed for standard-sized mobile devices and smaller essentials; very large smartphones may not fit.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems less effective over time
Apply a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing to restore the coating.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clean any debris from the zip track and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or run a graphite pencil lead along the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Regatta Full Zip Gilet in optimal condition, adhere to standard synthetic garment care practices. Always check the internal wash label for specific temperature guidance. Generally, machine wash on a cool setting with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment over time.
For best results, air dry the gilet away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the stretch fibers. The gilet is highly compatible with other Regatta technical layers, including moisture-wicking base layers or heavier outer waterproof jackets. Because the material is embroidery-ready, it is compatible with most standard machine-embroidery processes, provided the machine is set for polyester fabrics.
