Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Marizion Padded Gilet is designed for adult men who need a reliable, lightweight layering piece for outdoor activities and chilly commutes. Its primary benefit is the combination of efficient warmth from recycled synthetic down insulation with a sleek, non-bulky silhouette that allows for excellent freedom of movement. While highly versatile, it is important to note that the water-repellent finish is designed for light rainfall rather than heavy, sustained downpours, making it best suited for moderate weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It features a water-repellent finish that is suitable for light rain or showers, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, its slim, lightweight design makes it an excellent mid-layer for use underneath a larger rain shell.
Does it have an internal chest pocket?
No, this model features two external zipped lower pockets for storage.
Is the insulation made of real feathers?
No, it uses recycled synthetic down, which is a cruelty-free alternative to traditional down.
How should I store the gilet for long periods?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the shape and integrity of the insulation.
Are the armholes adjustable?
The armholes are not manually adjustable, but they are designed with stretch binding to ensure a snug, comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off; use a spray-on DWR re-proofer to restore water repellency.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Clear any debris or fabric from the zipper track and consider applying a tiny amount of dry lubricant if necessary.
Insulation feels compressed or lumpy
Tumble dry the gilet on low heat with clean tennis balls to help fluff up and redistribute the synthetic insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Marizion Gilet, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) coating from the fabric. When drying, tumble dry on a low setting or air dry to maintain the integrity of the synthetic insulation. For layering, this gilet is compatible with most standard-fit long-sleeve shirts, mid-weight fleeces, or thin windbreakers. Ensure that your base layer is not so bulky that it prevents the gilet from zipping comfortably.
