FAQs

What type of weather is this gilet best suited for?

This gilet is ideal for mild to cool weather conditions. It offers good wind resistance and protection from light rain, making it suitable for transitional seasons or as a layering piece.

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, the gilet has a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can withstand light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and will not provide protection in heavy downpours.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Regatta Professional Men's sizing chart. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the corresponding size (e.g., 41-42 inches chest is a size L).

Can I wear this over a thick jumper?

While it can be layered, this gilet is designed to be lightweight. It is best worn over lighter layers like t-shirts, polo shirts, or thin fleeces for optimal comfort and mobility.

How should I care for the water-repellent finish?

To maintain the DWR finish, avoid using fabric softeners during washing and consider reapplying a DWR treatment after several washes, following the treatment product's instructions.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is made from 100% polyester, specifically a lightweight jersey-backed Softshell Stretch Light fabric.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need replenishing. Use a suitable re-proofer spray designed for outdoor clothing after washing and drying according to care instructions.

Gilet feels restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size using the provided sizing chart. The Softshell Stretch Light fabric is designed for flexibility, so a proper fit is key.

Zipper is stiff

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
