Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Marizion Quilted Gilet is a versatile, lightweight layering piece designed for active women who need warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. It offers excellent core insulation through premium synthetic down and features a water-repellent finish, making it ideal for brisk, damp outdoor activities; however, as a gilet, it does not provide coverage for the arms, so it is best suited for layering over long-sleeved base layers or sweaters.

FAQs
Is the synthetic down actually recycled?
Yes, the gilet uses 170 g/m² of premium synthetic down insulation that is made from recycled materials.
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain and mist effectively, but it is not waterproof for heavy or sustained downpours.
Can I machine wash the gilet?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend a gentle cycle at 30°C and avoiding fabric softeners to protect the technical coating.
Does it have an internal pocket?
No, this specific model features two external zipped lower pockets for storage.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, it is designed to fit true to your standard women's dress size.
Troubleshooting
Outer fabric starting to absorb water
The water-repellent finish may be wearing off. Clean the garment and re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically for outdoor technical fabrics.
Insulation feels flattened or clumpy
Wash the gilet with a few clean tennis balls in the dryer on a low-heat, delicate setting to help fluff the synthetic fibers back to their original loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of your gilet, follow these guidelines: For washing, use a delicate cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent designed for synthetic insulation. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-repellent finish. It is best to air dry the gilet flat to maintain the loft of the synthetic fill. For compatibility, this gilet pairs best with long-sleeve base layers, thermal tops, or lightweight hoodies. It fits true to size, but if you prefer to layer it over very thick chunky-knit sweaters, consider whether your usual size allows for sufficient room in the armholes.
