FAQs
What is the insulation made of?
The insulation is feather-free, premium recycled synthetic down, designed to provide warmth without using animal products.
Is the gilet waterproof?
The gilet has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can withstand light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, an outer waterproof layer is recommended.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for women's apparel, paying attention to chest and hip measurements to find the best fit for the UK size 12.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
While it provides good warmth, for very cold conditions, it is best used as a layering piece under a more protective outer jacket.
Are the materials environmentally friendly?
Yes, the gilet is partially made from recycled polyester fabric and the synthetic down filling is also made from recycled materials, including plastic bottles.
Does it have an internal pocket?
Yes, there is a secure inner pocket with a zip to store essential items.
How should I wash the gilet?
Wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm after washing.
Tumble dry on a low heat with a few clean tennis balls to help redistribute and restore the loft of the synthetic insulation.
Water repellency seems reduced.
Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor clothing after washing, following product instructions.
Zip is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric around the zip is clear of obstructions. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zip teeth.
