Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hillpack II Gilet is designed for women seeking lightweight, packable warmth without bulk. Ideal for outdoor activities or as an extra layer in transitional weather, its synthetic down filling offers excellent insulation. A potential caveat is its sleeveless design, which may not provide sufficient warmth in very cold conditions on its own. Key features include water repellency, a full zip fastening, and multiple pockets.

FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet provides good insulation for its weight, but as a sleeveless garment, it is best suited for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece under a warmer jacket in colder conditions.

How do I clean the synthetic down filling?

The synthetic down filling can be cleaned by machine washing on a gentle cycle at 30°C with liquid detergent, followed by tumble drying on a low heat with tennis balls to restore loft.

What does 'Packaway' mean?

'Packaway' means the gilet is designed to be compressed and folded into a small size, making it easy to pack into a bag or backpack for travel or when not in use.

Is the material waterproof?

The gilet has a water-repellent finish, meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof and will not provide protection in heavy or prolonged rain.

What are the sustainability features?

This gilet is made from recycled materials and uses cruelty-free synthetic down, aligning with sustainable practices.

Can I wear this gilet in the rain?

Yes, the water-repellent finish offers protection against light rain. For heavier or continuous rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer over the gilet.

How should I store the gilet when not in use?

Store the gilet in a dry place. It can be stored loosely or compressed if needed for space, but avoid long-term storage in a tightly compressed state to maintain the filling's loft.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels flat or less warm after washing

Ensure the gilet is fully dry and has been tumble dried on a low heat with tennis balls. This helps to redistribute and re-loft the synthetic down filling.

Water repellency seems reduced

The water-repellent finish can be restored by re-applying a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor clothing, following the product's instructions. Avoid using fabric softener, which can impede water repellency.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.

Seams appear to be fraying

If minor fraying occurs, carefully trim any loose threads with scissors. For more significant seam issues, professional repair may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and packable for easy transport.
  • Provides good insulation with synthetic down.
  • Water-repellent finish for protection against light precipitation.
  • Durable construction for active use.
  • Designed with practicality in mind, including zipped pockets and a funnel neck.

Cons

  • Sleeveless design offers limited arm warmth.
  • May not be sufficient as a standalone outer layer in freezing temperatures.
  • Primarily designed for moderate weather conditions.
  • The synthetic down may not offer the same loft or compressibility as high-quality natural down.
  • Requires specific care for the water-repellent finish to remain effective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Hillpack II Gilet requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: This gilet is designed as a women's garment. It pairs well with various outdoor clothing, including base layers, fleeces, and waterproof jackets. It is suitable for adult wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls. This helps to re-fluff the synthetic down filling. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Cleaning: Avoid dry cleaning.
