Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Marizion Padded Gilet is designed for adult women seeking a lightweight, warm, and water-repellent layering option. Its key benefit is providing core warmth without bulk, ideal for transitional weather. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so heavy rain may penetrate. This gilet features a down-free synthetic fill for insulation, a durable polyamide shell, and a polyamide lining, making it a practical choice for outdoor activities.

FAQs
Is the insulation truly down-free?
Yes, the insulation is made from 100% recycled synthetic down, providing warmth without using natural feathers.
What does 'water-repellent' mean for this gilet?
Water-repellent means the fabric is treated to resist water penetration from light rain or splashes. It is not waterproof and will not protect against prolonged or heavy downpours.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold weather?
The gilet provides good core warmth for its weight, but in very cold conditions, it is best used as a layering piece over insulating base layers and potentially under a waterproof and windproof outer shell.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta, paying attention to chest and waist measurements. This specific product is for women's UK size 8.
What are the pocket details?
The gilet features two lower pockets that are secured with zippers, ideal for keeping small items safe.
Is the material noisy when moving?
The 20D polyamide fabric is lightweight and generally quiet during movement, designed for comfort and minimal distraction.
Can this gilet be packed down small?
Yes, due to its lightweight and compressible synthetic fill, it can be packed down relatively small for travel or storage.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm after washing.
Ensure the insulation is fully re-fluffed. Tumble dry on a low heat with tennis balls to restore loft.
Water repellency is reduced.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic outerwear after cleaning.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear of obstruction. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Lubricate with a graphite pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. There is no setup required beyond wearing it.
Compatibility: The gilet is designed for layering and is compatible with a wide range of casual and outdoor clothing. Its standard fit accommodates various base layers and lighter jackets.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your gilet:
- Washing: Machine wash inside out with similar colours using a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the insulation and reduce its effectiveness.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls or clean dryer balls. This helps to re-distribute and re-fluff the synthetic insulation.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can damage the fabric and insulation.
