Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Marizion Baffled Gilet is designed for adult males seeking core insulation during cold outdoor activities like hiking and trekking. Its key benefit is reliable warmth without bulk, thanks to synthetic down fill and a water-repellent finish. A potential caveat is its lightweight construction, which may not offer extreme warmth in sub-zero temperatures. Key features include a 100% lightweight 20D polyamide fabric, long-lasting water repellent treatment, 170 g/m² insulation, polyamide lining, two zipped lower pockets, and stretch-bound armholes and hem.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this gilet?

The Regatta Marizion Baffled Gilet is designed to provide core insulation for warmth during outdoor activities in cool to cold weather.

Is the insulation made from real down?

No, the gilet uses premium quality 100% recycled synthetic down insulation, which is a more sustainable and often more water-resistant alternative to natural down.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

The gilet has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light showers. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear it as a layer under a waterproof outer jacket.

How should I clean the gilet?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning.

What does 'baffled' mean in the context of this gilet?

'Baffled' refers to the construction method where sewn-through compartments (baffles) hold the insulation in place, preventing it from shifting and ensuring even warmth distribution.

Is this gilet suitable for extreme cold?

While it provides good insulation, it is best suited for moderate to cool conditions or as a layering piece in colder weather. For extreme cold, additional layers or a heavier insulated jacket may be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm after washing.

Ensure the insulation is properly fluffed. After drying, tumble dry on a low setting with clean tennis balls to help restore loft to the synthetic fill.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray designed for outdoor clothing after cleaning, following the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help smooth its operation.
