FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet is designed for lightweight warmth and protection against wind and light rain. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer clothing.

How do I clean the gilet?

You can machine wash the gilet at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, do not iron, and tumble dry on a low heat setting.

What does 'Durable Water Repellent' mean?

This means the fabric has been treated to resist water absorption, causing light rain or water splashes to bead up and roll off the surface. It is not waterproof.

Can I wear this gilet for sports?

Yes, the Softshell Stretch Light technology and lightweight design make it suitable for activities like hiking, cycling, or golf where freedom of movement is important.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Regatta Professional Men's sizing chart provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the guide.

Will this gilet keep me completely dry in heavy rain?

No, the gilet has a durable water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or splashes. It is not designed to be waterproof for heavy or prolonged rainfall.

What is the 'Super soft handle' feature?

This refers to the pleasant, smooth, and comfortable texture of the fabric when it touches the skin.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels tight or restrictive.

Check the size against the provided sizing guide. Consider ordering a size up if you prefer a looser fit or intend to layer with thick garments.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish can degrade over time. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics following the product's instructions.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have followed the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impact DWR performance.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.
