Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hillpack II Gilet is designed for adult females seeking lightweight warmth and mobility, particularly for hiking. Its key benefit is bulk-free insulation that keeps you warm without restricting movement, and a water-repellent finish for protection against light rain. A potential consideration is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof. Key features include durable polyamide construction, advanced insulation, and packability for easy storage.

FAQs

Is the Regatta Hillpack II Gilet waterproof?

No, the gilet features a water-repellent coating, which means it can resist light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer would be necessary.

Can I wear this gilet in very cold weather?

The gilet provides lightweight, bulk-free insulation suitable for cool to mild conditions, or as a mid-layer in colder weather. For extreme cold, additional layers or a heavier jacket would be recommended.

How do I care for the water-repellent finish?

The water-repellent finish can be maintained by avoiding fabric softeners during washing and by using a re-waterproofer spray or wash after several washes to restore its effectiveness.

What are the washing instructions for this gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry.

Is this gilet suitable for activities other than hiking?

Yes, the gilet is versatile and suitable for various outdoor activities such as walking, camping, and casual everyday wear due to its lightweight, comfortable, and stylish design.

Can this gilet be packed into a small space?

Yes, the Hillpack II Gilet is designed to be packable, meaning it can be easily folded into a small bag for convenient storage and transport.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm after washing.

Ensure the insulation is fully lofted by tumbling on a low heat setting or gently shaking it after washing and drying. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog the insulation.

Water-repellent finish is no longer effective.

The water-repellent finish may need reapplication after several washes. Use a suitable spray-on or wash-in water-repellent treatment for outdoor clothing, following the product's instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
