Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Life Fairbanks Gilet is an essential layering piece for active adults seeking core warmth without restricted arm movement. It features a soft-touch polyester finish paired with a cosy lining, making it ideal for transitional weather where a full jacket might feel too heavy. While it provides excellent protection against light showers, it is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours, making it best suited for dry-to-mildly damp environments.

FAQs
Is the Fairbanks Gilet waterproof?
It is showerproof, meaning it handles light rain effectively, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used in heavy rain.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the gilet to prevent damage to the material and maintain the water-repellent finish.
Does it have pockets?
The design features integrated pockets perfect for storing small essentials like keys or a phone.
How should I clean the gilet?
Use a machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, it is designed to fit standard UK sizing, but if you intend to wear very thick layers underneath, some users prefer to size up.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking in during rain.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; re-treat the fabric with a technical wash-in spray.
Visible creases or wrinkles after storage.
Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a low-heat garment steamer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a ready-to-wear garment, there is no setup required. For compatibility, ensure you choose the size that allows for the layers you intend to wear underneath; if you plan on wearing chunky sweaters, consider if your standard size accommodates the extra volume. To care for your gilet, machine wash it on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish. Always hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the structural integrity of the fabric.
