Regatta Travel Light Pack Away Gilet

This gilet is designed for mild to moderate conditions and offers wind and light rain resistance. For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over insulating items like fleeces or down jackets.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. A low heat tumble dry can help reactivate the water-repellent finish.

The anti-insect treatment provides defense against biting insects such as mosquitoes and ticks, making it more comfortable for outdoor activities in areas where insects are prevalent.

Yes, the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat. For enhanced or restored protection after prolonged use, consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofer designed for outdoor apparel.

The gilet is designed to pack away into its own pocket, making it very compact and easy to store in a backpack or luggage for travel.

Isoflex is Regatta's active stretch fabric technology. It is designed to be water repellent, quick-drying, and offer excellent freedom of movement for active use.

It features multi-patch pockets with Velcro fastening and a zipped chest pocket for secure storage of essential items.

Clean the garment to remove dirt and oils. Reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat for 20 minutes. For a stronger treatment, consider using a dedicated re-waterproofing product.

Ensure the garment is clean. Over time, dirt and residue can affect breathability. Wash according to care instructions. If using a mid-layer, ensure it is also breathable.

Gently try to loosen the drawcord by hand. Ensure there is no debris caught in the channel. If it persists, check for any knots or snags in the cord itself.

The effectiveness of anti-insect treatments can fade over time. While the fabric may retain some properties, consider using an additional insect repellent spray on exposed skin if significant protection is required.
