Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Arana Softshell Gilet is designed for adult males seeking reliable core protection during outdoor activities like hiking and trail running. Its key benefit is providing weather-ready, breathable warmth through advanced Softshell XPT fabric. A potential consideration is that while it offers showerproof protection, it is not fully waterproof for heavy rain conditions.

FAQs

Is the Arana gilet fully waterproof?

The Arana gilet features a waterproof Softshell XPT fabric and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, making it resistant to showers. However, it is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain and is considered showerproof rather than fully waterproof.

What is the breathability rating?

The gilet has a breathability rating of 10,000/m²/24 hours, indicating good moisture vapor transfer to keep you comfortable during activity.

How should I clean the gilet?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat or air dry. Avoid fabric softeners.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

The gilet provides core warmth and is excellent for layering. For colder conditions, it's recommended to wear it over insulating layers like fleece or down.

What kind of activities is this gilet best suited for?

It is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, trail running, walking, and general outdoor exploration where protection from wind and light rain is needed.

Does it have pockets for essentials?

Yes, it features one zipped chest pocket and two lower zipped pockets for secure storage of items like a phone, keys, or a small map.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is crafted from a 200gsm mesh-backed woven Softshell XPT fabric, composed of 96% polyester and 4% elastane.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency decreasing

Reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish by tumble drying on a low heat for 20 minutes after washing, or by applying a specific DWR re-treatment spray following product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil lead.

Garment feels damp inside despite no external rain

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash according to care instructions and avoid fabric softeners.
