Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hillpack II Gilet in Black, size 10, is designed for women seeking lightweight, packable insulation for active outdoor use. Its key benefit is offering warmth without bulk, thanks to its recycled synthetic down filling. A potential caveat is that it is sleeveless, meaning it is best suited as a mid-layer or for mild weather conditions. This gilet features a durable, water-repellent finish and is designed for easy wear and storage.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, the Regatta Hillpack II Gilet is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.

How do I clean the gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, ideally with tennis balls, until completely dry.

Can I put this gilet in the washing machine?

Yes, it is machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Ensure you use liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach.

What kind of filling does it use?

It is filled with Feather-Free, Lightweight, Recycled Synthetic Down, which is a sustainable and cruelty-free alternative to natural down.

Is it suitable for very cold weather?

This gilet provides good core insulation but is best suited as a mid-layer or for mild to cool conditions. For extreme cold, consider wearing it under a warmer, insulated jacket.

What are the benefits of the stretch binding on the cuffs and hem?

The stretch binding ensures a snug fit, helping to keep out drafts and retain body heat, while also allowing for comfortable movement.

How should I store the gilet when not in use?

The gilet is highly packable and can be compressed into a small size for storage. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before packing it away to prevent damage or odor.

Troubleshooting

Gilet not insulating effectively

Ensure the synthetic down filling is evenly distributed. If recently washed, ensure it is completely dry and has been tumble-dried on low heat with tennis balls to restore loft.

Water-repellency has decreased

Re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment designed for synthetic outerwear after washing and drying according to care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede water-repellency.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. A small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) can be applied to help them glide smoothly.
