Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Aldthorn Gilet is designed for men seeking a reliable, lightweight layering piece for transitional weather and outdoor excursions. It provides superior warmth through high-quality recycled synthetic down insulation without the bulk of a traditional heavy jacket, making it perfect for active use. While the water-repellent finish offers protection against light showers, it is important to note that the gilet is not fully waterproof and should be paired with a shell jacket during heavy, prolonged rainfall.

FAQs

Is this gilet machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but always check the care label inside the garment for specific temperature requirements.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

The Aldthorn Gilet is water-repellent, not waterproof. It will handle light mist, but for heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof shell jacket over it.

What does 'grown-on hood' mean?

A grown-on hood is permanently attached to the main body of the gilet rather than being detachable or stowable.

Is the insulation real down?

No, it uses high-quality 100% recycled synthetic down, which is often easier to clean and maintains warmth even when damp.

How do I adjust the hem?

There is a built-in shockcord with toggle adjusters located at the inside hem of the gilet; pull and lock them to create a tighter seal against the wind.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the fabric

The water-repellent (DWR) finish may be wearing off. Re-apply a spray-on DWR treatment following the manufacturer's instructions.

Insulation feels flat or clumped after washing

Tumble dry the garment on a low heat setting with tennis balls to redistribute the synthetic fibers and regain loft.

Zipper sticks or does not slide smoothly

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or lint, then lightly lubricate with a specialized zipper wax or a graphite pencil lead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Aldthorn Gilet, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent specifically designed for synthetic insulation. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls in the dryer to help restore the loft of the synthetic down.
  3. Storage: Hang the gilet in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed in a bag for long periods, as this can degrade the insulation quality over time.
  4. Compatibility: The gilet is cut for standard adult sizing and layers well over technical fleeces or base layers, but consider sizing up if you intend to wear it over bulky knitwear.
