Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Gilet Professional is designed for adult males seeking lightweight, wind-resistant, and water-repellent outerwear. Its key benefit is providing a comfortable, protective layer for outdoor activities or work, especially in unpredictable weather. A caveat is that while it offers a durable water-repellent finish, it is not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for heavy rain. This gilet features Softshell Stretch Light fabric technology, a super soft handle, and is quick-drying, making it practical and easy to wear.

FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The Regatta Gilet Professional is designed for moderate conditions. While it offers wind resistance and a DWR finish, it provides limited insulation and is best layered with warmer clothing underneath for colder temperatures.

How do I know which size to order?

Please refer to the 'Regatta Professional Mens sizing (chest approx.)' guide provided in the product information. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the chart to find your best fit.

Can I wear this gilet in heavy rain?

The gilet has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can repel light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof and will not provide protection in prolonged or heavy rainfall.

How should I wash the gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

What is the main benefit of the Softshell Stretch Light fabric?

This fabric technology provides a lightweight, stretchy material that allows for a full range of motion, making the gilet comfortable for active use while offering wind resistance and a soft feel.

Can I put the gilet in the washing machine?

Yes, the gilet is machine washable at 30°C with a mild detergent. Follow the care instructions to maintain its properties.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the Regatta Professional Mens sizing chart. Consider layering with thinner items underneath.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The gilet has a durable water-repellent finish, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended. The DWR finish may also need refreshing over time.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.

Fabric feels less soft after washing.

Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can affect the fabric's handle. Ensure the gilet is not ironed, as high heat can damage the material.
