Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Marizion Gilet is designed for adult women seeking a sporty, lightweight layering piece for variable weather. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, thanks to down-free insulation and water-repellent properties, making it ideal for outdoor activities. A potential caveat is that its water resistance is for light rainfall only, not heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is the insulation genuinely down-free?
Yes, the Marizion Gilet uses 100% recycled synthetic down for its insulation, providing warmth without using any natural down.
How effective is the water-repellent finish?
The gilet has a water-repellent finish that is effective against light rain or drizzle. It is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The gilet provides good warmth for its weight and is suitable for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece under a warmer jacket or a waterproof and insulated outer shell.
What is the best way to maintain the gilet's loft and warmth?
After washing, it is recommended to tumble dry the gilet on a low heat setting with dryer balls. This helps to break up any clumps in the synthetic insulation and restore its fluffy loft.
What material is the gilet made from?
The outer fabric is made from 100% lightweight 20D polyamide, and the lining is also polyamide. The insulation is 100% recycled synthetic down.
How should I clean the gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm after washing
Ensure the gilet is fully dry. For best results, tumble dry on a low heat with dryer balls to help redistribute and re-loft the synthetic insulation.
Water repellency seems reduced
The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Consider using a re-proofing spray suitable for synthetic outdoor clothing to restore its effectiveness. Follow the product's care label for washing before re-proofing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve smoothness.
