Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hillpack II Gilet is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight and insulating layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing exceptional warmth without bulk, thanks to its synthetic down filling and water-repellent finish. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it may not be fully waterproof in heavy rain. Key features include a packable design, funnel neck, secure zip pockets, and stretch binding at the cuffs and hem for a comfortable fit.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

The Regatta Hillpack II Gilet features a water-repellent finish, which means it can shed light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged downpours.

How do I wash the gilet?

You can machine wash the gilet on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and do not bleach. It is recommended to tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help restore the loft of the synthetic filling.

What is synthetic down?

Synthetic down is a type of insulation made from fine, hollow polyester fibers designed to mimic the warmth and loft of natural down. It offers benefits like better performance when wet and is a cruelty-free alternative.

Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?

The gilet provides excellent insulation for its weight, but in very cold temperatures, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a waterproof and windproof outer jacket.

How packable is the gilet?

The gilet is designed to be highly compressible and packable, meaning it can be folded or rolled into a very small size, making it easy to carry in a backpack or bag.

What sizes are available?

This gilet is available in various UK women's dress sizes. Please refer to the sizing chart or available options for specific size availability.

Is this product suitable for vegans?

Yes, the gilet uses synthetic down filling and is made from polyester/polyamide, which are not animal-derived. It is also described as 'Cruelty Free'.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels flat after washing

Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to break up clumps and restore the loft of the synthetic down filling.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's still stuck, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth and try again.

Water repellency seems reduced

Washing can diminish the water-repellent finish over time. Consider using a re-proofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.
