Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Marizion Padded Gilet is designed for active men who need a reliable, lightweight insulation layer for hiking, trekking, or daily commutes in changing weather. It excels at trapping body heat without the bulk associated with traditional down jackets, though it is best suited for light showers rather than heavy, prolonged rainfall.

FAQs
Is the insulation real down?
No, it uses high-quality, recycled synthetic down, which is feather-free and performs better than traditional down in damp conditions.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, its low-bulk profile makes it an excellent mid-layer for use under a shell during heavy rain.
Is the material waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it resists light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used as a primary defense against heavy rain.
Are the pockets lined?
The pockets are secure and zipped, though they are designed to be lightweight and do not have an additional fleece lining.
How do I choose the right size?
The fit is standard for activewear. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may prefer your standard size or a slightly looser fit.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the surface
The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Wash with a technical gear cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Insulation feels flat or lumpy
Machine wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help fluff the synthetic fibers back into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for straightforward use; simply layer it over a base-layer or flannel shirt depending on the ambient temperature. To maintain the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish, wash the garment according to the care label, typically using a gentle cycle with a specialized tech-wash detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and diminish both water repellency and breathability. For storage, hang the gilet in a cool, dry place to maintain the loft of the padding; avoid compressing it under heavy items for extended periods.
