Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Marizion Baffled Gilet in Red (Size S) is designed for adult males seeking core warmth and mobility during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing reliable insulation without bulk, thanks to synthetic down fill and a water-repellent finish. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for light showers, not heavy rain. Key features include lightweight construction, recycled insulation, and practical zipped pockets.

FAQs
What is the insulation material made of?
The insulation is made from 100% recycled synthetic down, providing warmth without bulk.
Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?
The gilet has a water-repellent finish suitable for light showers. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer over it.
How should I clean the gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Close all zippers before washing and wash separately or with like colors.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold weather?
This gilet provides core warmth and is best used as a layering piece. In very cold weather, combine it with warmer layers underneath and potentially a windproof or waterproof outer jacket.
What does 'baffled' mean in the product name?
'Baffled' refers to the construction method where the insulation is contained within stitched channels (baffles) to prevent it from shifting and to ensure even distribution of warmth.
What kind of activities is this gilet best suited for?
It's ideal for hiking, trekking, layering, and general outdoor activities in cool or mild weather where core warmth and mobility are important.
Does the gilet have internal pockets?
The product description mentions two zipped lower pockets on the exterior. It does not specify internal pockets.
Troubleshooting
Gilet is not insulating effectively
Ensure the gilet is clean. Synthetic insulation can lose loft and effectiveness if dirty or compacted. Check that all zippers are closed to prevent drafts.
Water repellency is reduced
The water-repellent finish may diminish over time. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing according to product instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. You can apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specific zipper lubricant) to the teeth to improve movement. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Fit feels too tight or restrictive
While designed for a close fit, ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that you are not wearing overly bulky layers underneath that impede movement.
