Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Insulated Gilet is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, water-repellent layer for moderate weather conditions. Its key benefit is the Thermo-Guard technology, offering excellent insulation without bulk, while a potential caveat is its suitability primarily for dry conditions due to its water-repellent, not waterproof, nature. This gilet features a quilted design, a standing collar, full zip fastening, and two side pockets, prioritizing both warmth and practicality.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the Airtrap technology?

Airtrap technology works by trapping warm air within the fabric's structure, providing effective insulation and helping to maintain body heat without adding significant bulk.

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

No, the gilet features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light showers and mist. For heavy or prolonged rain, a waterproof jacket should be worn over it.

Can this gilet be worn by women?

This specific product is listed for men. Regatta offers a range of Gilets suitable for all genders; please check other product listings for alternatives.

How should I wash the gilet to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impact the fabric's performance.

What does 'Thermo-Guard' mean?

Thermo-Guard is Regatta's insulation technology designed to provide superior warmth with a lightweight feel, ensuring comfort in cooler conditions.

Are the materials used in this gilet sustainable?

Yes, the gilet is made from 100% recycled polyester, aligning with eco-friendly practices.

Can I wear this gilet in very cold winter weather?

While it offers good insulation, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it functions well as a mid-layer beneath a warmer outer jacket.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size guide for measurements. The gilet is designed to be layered, so consider the thickness of underlayers.

Reduced warmth after washing

Check care label instructions. Ensure the gilet is fully dry; tumble drying on a low heat can help restore loft to the insulation. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners which can affect thermal properties.

Water repellency seems reduced

The water-repellent finish can degrade over time. Consider re-applying a suitable fabric re-proofer designed for outdoor clothing after thorough washing and drying, following the re-proofer's instructions.
