Full details

FAQs
Is the faux down filling warm enough for winter?
The faux down filling provides good insulation for mild to cool weather. For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to layer the gilet over a warmer base layer or fleece, or wear it under a heavier insulated jacket.
How do I ensure the gilet fits correctly?
Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta. This specific gilet is a UK size 8. Ensure measurements are taken accurately before purchasing.
Can this gilet be worn in the rain?
The gilet features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which will help repel light rain and moisture. It is not waterproof, so for prolonged or heavy rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.
What does 'feather-free' and 'recycled' mean for the filling?
'Feather-free' means the filling is synthetic and does not contain any animal-derived feathers. 'Recycled' indicates that the synthetic filling material has been made from post-consumer waste, contributing to sustainability.
How should I store the gilet when not in use?
Store the gilet in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, as this can affect the loft of the filling. Hanging it or storing it loosely is recommended.
Is the gilet machine washable?
Yes, the gilet can be machine washed at 30°C. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for detailed washing and drying guidelines.
What is the purpose of the stretch binding?
The stretch binding on the armholes and hem is designed to provide a snug fit, helping to keep out drafts and ensure the gilet stays comfortably in place during activity.
Troubleshooting
Gilet appears to have lost some loft after washing.
Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This will help to break up any clumps and restore the filling's fluffiness.
Water repellency seems reduced.
Gently clean the garment to remove dirt and oils. For enhanced water repellency, consider using a reproofing spray suitable for synthetic outdoor clothing, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Move the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant.
