Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Hillpack II Gilet in Pink, size 14, is designed for adult females seeking lightweight, insulating outerwear for active or casual use. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, making it easy to pack and carry. A potential consideration is its water-repellent nature, which offers protection from light showers but is not a substitute for a full waterproof jacket. Key features include synthetic down filling for warmth, a durable and lightweight design, and a packable construction.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the Regatta Hillpack II Gilet has a water-repellent finish, meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used as protection against heavy or prolonged rainfall.
How do I clean the gilet?
You can machine wash the gilet at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, preferably with tennis balls to help restore the filling's loft.
What is 'Synthetic Down' filling?
Synthetic down is an insulating material designed to mimic the properties of natural down. It provides warmth without bulk and retains insulating capabilities even when wet.
Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?
For very cold conditions, this gilet is best used as a layering piece. It provides excellent insulation when worn under a waterproof or windproof outer jacket.
How does the packaway feature work?
The gilet is designed to be compressed and stored into a small bag or pocket. This makes it very convenient for travel or for carrying in a backpack when not needed.
What does '20D' refer to in the material description?
20D refers to the denier count of the fabric, which indicates its thickness and weight. A lower denier like 20D signifies a very fine, lightweight, and often smooth fabric, contributing to the gilet's packability and light feel.
Is this product suitable for women of all ages?
Yes, the product is categorized for adult women. The sizing and design are intended for adult female wearers.
Troubleshooting
Gilet not providing enough warmth
Ensure the gilet is fully zipped and the hem/cuffs are snug. Consider layering over additional thermal garments for colder temperatures.
Water repellency seems reduced
This can happen over time with wear and washing. Consider applying a re-proofing spray suitable for synthetic fabrics. Ensure the garment is clean before application.
Filling appears clumpy after washing
Tumble dry the gilet on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to break up any clumps and restore the loft of the synthetic down.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based product can help lubricate the teeth.
