Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is designed for adult men who need a versatile, lightweight layering piece for outdoor activities and daily wear. Its key benefit is the combination of water-repellent polyester construction and a flexible, sleeveless design that ensures freedom of movement while providing core warmth. One caveat is that as a gilet, it provides excellent protection for the torso, but you will need a separate jacket if you require full arm coverage during heavy downpours or freezing temperatures.

Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the track and consider rubbing a small amount of graphite from a pencil along the teeth to act as a lubricant.
Water-repellent finish seems to be failing
Wash the garment and apply a re-proofing spray designed for technical fabrics to restore the water-shedding performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed to be worn immediately as an outer layer. To maintain the water-repellent properties of the polyester fabric, ensure you wash the garment according to the care label, typically using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners which can clog the fabric pores. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the stretch binding. For layering, the gilet is best paired with a long-sleeve base layer or a light fleece for optimal climate control.
