Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is a versatile, lightweight layering piece designed for active adult males who need core warmth without sacrificing arm mobility. It combines advanced Extol Stretch and Micro Poplin fabrics to ensure a comfortable fit during outdoor pursuits, though its water-repellent finish is designed for light showers rather than heavy downpours. Featuring multiple secure pockets and a customizable design, this gilet serves as an essential mid-layer for hiking, walking, or general everyday use.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?

Can I add my own logo to the gilet?

Does the gilet provide wind protection?
Yes, the Micro Poplin fabric panels on the chest provide effective wind resistance for your core.
How should I wash this garment?
Wash in a machine on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent; avoid fabric conditioners.
Is the material stretchy?

Are the pockets secure?

Troubleshooting
Water-repellency wearing off
Apply a technical fabric reproofing spray to the outer shell after cleaning to restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
Zip catching on fabric
Ensure the internal storm flap is flat and clear of the zipper track before zipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Full Zip Gilet, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell for extreme weather, or as a standalone outer layer in mild conditions.
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool setting using a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent treatment.
- Drying: Air dry naturally to preserve the integrity of the stretch fabrics. Do not tumble dry unless specified on the garment label.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a proper hanger to maintain the structure of the collar and hem binding.
