Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Gilet is ideal for adult males seeking a lightweight yet warm layering piece for outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its advanced fabric technologies providing insulation and water repellency. A minor caveat is its sleeveless design, which may not offer sufficient warmth in extreme cold without additional layers. The gilet is constructed from 100% Polyester, featuring Airtrap, Insulating, Quick Dry, and Water Repellent technologies, a standing collar, full zip, and two side pockets, all made from eco-friendly, recycled materials.

FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

While the gilet provides good insulation for its weight, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it serves as an excellent mid-layer when worn with additional warm layers underneath and a waterproof outer shell.

What does 'Airtrap' technology do?

Airtrap technology is designed to capture and retain body heat within the fabric's structure, providing enhanced thermal insulation without adding significant bulk.

How should I clean the gilet to maintain its features?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents which can compromise the quick-dry and water-repellent properties.

Is the gilet waterproof?

The gilet features water-repellent fabric, which means it can withstand light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof and may not protect against prolonged heavy rainfall.

What is the main benefit of the sleeveless design?

The sleeveless design allows for maximum freedom of movement in the arms, making it ideal for active pursuits where arm mobility is important.

Are there other colours or sizes available?

This specific product is the Navy, Medium size. Other colours and sizes, including variations like the Professional Insulated Gilet and Ablaze Softshell Gilet, may be available from Regatta.

Can this gilet be worn by women?

This particular model is designed for men ('Male' gender attribute). Regatta offers a wide range of apparel, and similar gilet styles may be available in women's specific fits.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the fabric's insulating properties. Air drying is recommended over high-heat tumble drying.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The water-repellent finish may wear off over time. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor clothing to restore its effectiveness.

Zip is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to free it. If the zip is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zip lubricant can help.

Pilling or fabric damage.

Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim or items with Velcro. Ensure correct washing temperatures and cycles as per the care label.
