Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Navigate 2 Layer Softshell Gilet is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and protective outer layer for work or outdoor activities. Its key benefit is offering water repellency, wind resistance, and warmth with added stretch for unrestricted movement. A potential caveat is that its primary focus is on functionality and protection, rather than high fashion.

FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

The gilet is water-repellent, making it suitable for light rain or showers. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, a more waterproof garment would be recommended.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is made from a 2-layer softshell polyester fabric with a warm fleece lining.

Can I wear this gilet in very cold weather?

The fleece lining provides warmth, but for very cold conditions, it's best worn as a layer over a warmer base layer or fleece, or under a more insulated outer jacket.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Regatta Professional. This specific variant is a size XS and is designed for adult males.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are secure with zippers, offering protection against light moisture. They are not designed to be fully waterproof.

How often should I re-waterproof the gilet?

The frequency depends on usage and how often it's washed. It's recommended to re-proof when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels restrictive.

Ensure the garment is the correct size. The softshell fabric has stretch, but check that no inner layers are too bulky.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Clean the garment according to care instructions and consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Fleece lining is pilling.

This can sometimes occur with fleece. Wash inside out on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat to minimize pilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This gilet requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This gilet is designed as an outer or mid-layer and is compatible with most standard workwear and outdoor apparel. It can be layered over t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, or lighter fleeces.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your gilet:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can damage the water-repellent finish and fabric.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, periodically re-apply a suitable fabric waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions.
