Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is designed for active adults who need a versatile, lightweight layering piece that offers protection from the elements without restricting movement. Constructed from durable polyester with water-repellent technology and Extol Stretch fabric, it excels in outdoor activities where comfort and mobility are paramount, though users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it provides core warmth rather than full-arm insulation.

FAQs
Is this gilet windproof?
While it features a protective standing collar and tightly woven fabric, it is designed for breathability and is not classified as fully windproof.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
The gilet has water-repellent technology for light showers, but it is not waterproof and should be layered under a shell for heavy rain.
How should I choose the right size?
The gilet follows standard sizing; check the chest and waist measurements provided in our size chart to ensure a proper fit for layering.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable, but we recommend a cool wash and avoiding bleach or heavy softeners.
Does it have an internal pocket?
It features a secure zipped chest pocket on the exterior, but not a dedicated interior pocket.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellency seems less effective over time
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off; re-apply a fabric-safe water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment to restore performance.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track; clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity and performance of your Regatta gilet, wash it on a cool cycle, preferably with a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent treatment on the fabric. Hang the garment to air dry rather than tumble drying to prevent damage to the elastic binding at the hem and cuffs. This gilet is highly compatible with other Regatta technical layers, fitting comfortably beneath heavier jackets or over long-sleeve moisture-wicking shirts. If you plan to use this for professional purposes, the internal embroidery access allows for clean, hidden stitching without piercing through the outer shell.
