Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is designed for active adults who need a versatile, lightweight layering piece that provides core warmth without restricting arm movement. Combining high-performance Extol Stretch and Micro Poplin fabrics, this gilet is ideal for hiking, walking, or layering during transitional weather. While it offers excellent flexibility and water-repellent protection, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it is best utilized as part of a modular layering system rather than as standalone outerwear in extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it will shed light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and will soak through in heavy or sustained precipitation.
Can I wear this over a bulky jacket?
It is designed as a performance layer; wearing it over a bulky jacket will likely restrict movement. It is best worn over a base or mid-layer.
How do I access the embroidery area?
The gilet is designed with internal access points specifically to allow for clean, professional embroidery without stitching through the inner lining.
Is the fabric breathable?
Yes, the Extol Stretch panels are specifically chosen for their breathability, making this an ideal choice for active outdoor pursuits.
What is the primary material?
The gilet is constructed from high-quality polyester, which is durable, quick-drying, and holds its shape well over time.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
Reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying the garment on a low, gentle setting or using a dedicated outdoor fabric re-proofing spray.
Zipper feels stiff or sticky
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean any debris from the zipper track with a soft, dry brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Full Zip Gilet, wash it in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment. Because the fabric features stretch technology, always line dry or tumble dry on a low setting; high heat may cause the elastic fibers to lose their integrity over time. The gilet is highly compatible with fleece mid-layers or lightweight base layers, allowing you to customize your warmth based on the day's activity level and environment.
