Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is a versatile, sleeveless outer layer designed for adult men who need a balance of mobility and warmth during outdoor pursuits. Constructed from durable Extol Stretch and Micro Poplin fabrics, this gilet offers excellent comfort and protection against light precipitation thanks to its integrated water-repellent technology. While it is highly functional for layering, users should note that the gilet provides core warmth rather than full-arm insulation, making it best suited for transitional weather or as a mid-layer under a heavier jacket.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to shed light rain, but it is not waterproof and may soak through in heavy, sustained rain.
What is the primary material used?
The gilet is constructed from high-quality polyester featuring Extol Stretch and Micro Poplin fabrics.
Can I use this for embroidery?
Yes, the gilet includes specific embroidery access points, making it an excellent choice for team or company branding.
How should I clean my Regatta Gilet?
Machine wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying to preserve the fabric's technical properties.
Does the hem have an adjustable cord?
No, it features stretch binding at the hem to provide a secure, comfortable fit that stays in place during movement.
Is this suitable for winter?
It provides excellent core warmth for transitional seasons but is best used as a layering piece under a thicker coat during deep winter.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and gently clear; you can lubricate the zip with a small amount of candle wax if friction persists.
Water-repellency failing during rain
Wash the garment to remove dirt and residue, then consider applying a durable water repellent (DWR) spray treatment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent freedom of movement due to Extol Stretch fabric
- Water-repellent finish handles light rain effectively
- Multiple pockets provide ample secure storage
- Lightweight and ideal for layering under bulkier coats
- Stretch binding ensures a snug and comfortable fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet requires no setup; simply put it on and zip up. It is fully compatible with most outdoor base layers, such as merino or synthetic moisture-wicking shirts. To maintain the water-repellent performance, it is recommended to wash the garment in cold water with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners which can clog the technical fabric fibers. After washing, ensure it is air-dried away from direct heat sources. If the water-repellency begins to fade over time, you may re-treat the outer fabric with a standard technical garment spray-on proofer.
