Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Gilet Hillpack II is designed for women seeking lightweight, packable insulation for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, making it ideal for unpredictable weather. A potential consideration is that as a gilet, it leaves arms exposed, so it's best suited as a layering piece or for milder conditions. Key features include water-repellent fabric, recycled synthetic down filling, and a convenient packaway design.

FAQs

Is this gilet warm enough for winter?

The Gilet Hillpack II provides lightweight insulation suitable for mild weather or as a layering piece in colder conditions. For deep winter, it is recommended to wear it with warmer base layers and an insulated outer jacket.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta or consult the product's specific sizing information. This guide lists the 'Black - Size 16' variant.

Can this gilet be worn by men?

This specific model is designed with a women's fit. Regatta offers separate gilet models designed for men.

What does 'packaway' mean?

'Packaway' means the gilet can be easily folded or stuffed into its own pocket or a small pouch, making it highly portable and convenient to store when not in use.

Is the synthetic down filling environmentally friendly?

Yes, the filling is described as recycled synthetic down and is cruelty-free, aligning with sustainability efforts.

How should I store the gilet when not in use?

It can be stored loosely folded or compressed into a small bundle. For long-term storage, avoid tightly compressing it to maintain the loft of the insulation.

Troubleshooting

Gilet loses its loft after washing.

Place the gilet in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to break up any clumps and redistribute the synthetic down filling.

Water repellency seems reduced.

Wash the gilet according to care instructions and consider using a reproofing spray suitable for synthetic fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair water repellency.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
