Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is designed for active adults seeking a versatile, lightweight layering piece that provides core warmth without restricting arm movement. Featuring Regatta's signature Extol Stretch micro poplin, this gilet offers excellent water repellency and flexible mobility, making it an ideal choice for outdoor transitions or casual daily wear. While it excels at comfort and fit, users should note that the fabric is optimized for breathability and light weather resistance rather than heavy-duty thermal insulation.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water repellent, meaning it will protect against light showers but is not intended for heavy, sustained rainfall.
Can I wear this over a thick hoodie?
Yes, the sleeveless design and flexible Extol Stretch fabric are specifically engineered for comfortable layering over bulkier items.
What is the material composition?
The gilet is made from high-quality polyester featuring Extol Stretch micro poplin technology.
Is the collar adjustable?
The collar is a fixed standing style, designed to sit comfortably against the neck without needing adjustment.
How should I clean my gilet?
Wash on a cool cycle with non-bio detergent and air dry to maintain the performance of the fabric and the integrity of the stretch binding.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Apply a small amount of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil tip to the zipper teeth to lubricate them.
Water repellency seems to decrease
Wash the garment to remove dirt and then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the water-repellent treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a standard gilet, no technical setup is required. It fits true to size, though the XXXXXL size is specifically tailored for a more generous fit. To maintain the water-repellent finish, machine wash on a cool setting with a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the technical properties of the Extol Stretch fabric. Always line dry when possible to preserve the elasticity of the hem and cuff bindings.
