Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Marizion Quilted Gilet is a lightweight, stylish bodywarmer designed for adult women who need an effective layering piece for outdoor activities. Featuring down-free synthetic insulation and a water-repellent finish, it offers warmth and protection against light rain without unnecessary bulk; however, it is best suited as a mid-layer rather than a heavy-duty waterproof outer shell.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Marizion Gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and drizzle. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy rain.
What kind of insulation is used?
This gilet uses high-quality, synthetic, down-free insulation.
Can I wear this under a winter coat?
Yes, its slim, low-bulk design makes it perfect for layering underneath larger jackets.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, the gilet includes side pockets, though it is best to check the specific model for depth and security features.
How should I clean the gilet?
Machine wash on a cool cycle using mild detergent, and tumble dry on low to maintain the insulation.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish is no longer beading water
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Wash the garment and apply a spray-on re-proofer, then tumble dry on low to reactivate the coating.
Insulation feels flat or lumpy after washing
Ensure the gilet is tumble dried on low with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the synthetic fibers evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet lasts, always check the interior garment label for specific wash instructions. Generally, machine wash on a cool setting with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-repellent finish. To maintain the loft of the insulation, tumble dry on a low heat setting with a clean tennis ball to prevent clumping. For compatibility, this gilet matches best with fitted base layers or mid-weight fleeces, and fits smoothly under standard-sized waterproof jackets.
