FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the Regatta Marizion Gilet is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.
What is the insulation made of?
The gilet is insulated with 100% recycled synthetic down, a feather-free alternative that provides warmth without bulk.
How should I wash the gilet?
You should machine wash it at 30°C on a low setting with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat with a dryer ball to help restore loft.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The gilet is designed for moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer clothing, or you may need a heavier insulated jacket.
Does it have internal pockets?
The product description mentions two zipped lower pockets, but does not specify internal pockets.
What sizes are available?
This guide refers to a UK size 12. Other sizes are available in the Regatta Marizion range; please check the product listings for a full size chart.
Is the water repellency permanent?
The water repellency is a finish applied to the fabric. While long-lasting, it can diminish over time with wear and washing. Proper care, including tumble drying after washing, can help maintain it.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Wash the gilet according to care instructions and tumble dry on a low heat setting with a dryer ball. This can help reactivate the water-repellent treatment. For persistent issues, consider a re-proofing treatment suitable for synthetic outerwear.
Gilet feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the gilet is completely dry. Damp insulation loses its thermal properties. Check for any damage or wear that might compromise the fill. Remember, it's designed for moderate conditions and may require layering in colder weather.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it remains stiff, you can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
