A modern evolution of the classic Retention Gilet, the KJUS Regulator Gilet is engineered to deliver exceptional warmth without sacrificing the freedom of movement that every golfer demands. Featuring bonded quilting on the front panel and a lightweight, warming insulation system, this sleeveless design keeps your core temperature perfectly regulated on mild to cool days on the course. The entire vest is constructed from a highly stretchy four-way-stretch fabric that moves in complete harmony with your body, while the moisture-wicking lining ensures you stay dry and comfortable round after round. In the sophisticated Alloy colourway, this gilet pairs seamlessly with the full KJUS Regulator collection.
At the heart of the Regulator Gilet's warmth system is KJUS FAST Thermo Core™ — a high-performance stretch insulation technology engineered to trap warm air close to the body while simultaneously wicking moisture away. Unlike conventional fill materials, FAST Thermo Core™ is designed with a three-dimensional stretch architecture, meaning the insulation itself moves with the garment rather than compressing or bunching during your swing. The result is consistent, even warmth across the entire front panel without any restriction to your range of motion. Used as both the primary fill in the lower front and as the backing for the upper recycled synthetic down section, this technology delivers precision thermal regulation for mild to cool playing conditions.
The upper front of the Regulator Gilet is insulated with a next-generation recycled synthetic down fibre that has been engineered to outperform traditional natural down in key performance metrics. These advanced synthetic filaments retain more warmth per gram of weight, dry considerably faster when exposed to moisture, and are significantly easier to care for — machine washable at 30°C without losing loft or insulating performance. By using recycled fibres, KJUS also reduces the environmental footprint of the garment without compromising on premium warmth. The bonded quilting construction on the front panel locks the fill in place, preventing cold spots and maintaining a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.
The KJUS Regulator Gilet is constructed from a face fabric blended with 22% elastane, enabling four-directional stretch that adapts fluidly to every movement. Whether you are rotating through your backswing, bending down to read a putt, or reaching into your bag, the fabric moves with you — not against you. This is complemented by a secondary fabric layer of 86% polyamide and 14% elastane, which provides the moisture-wicking lining with its own inherent stretch. The combination of both fabrics working together creates a garment that has virtually no mechanical restriction, making it one of the most movement-friendly insulated vests in the KJUS golf lineup. The four-way stretch also means the gilet sits smoothly beneath a waterproof outer layer without bunching or riding up.
The outer fabric of the Regulator Gilet is treated with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that forms a protective polymer barrier across every fibre. This barrier reduces surface tension so that water droplets bead up and roll off rather than soaking into the face fabric, keeping you comfortable in light rain or damp conditions on the course. Critically, KJUS uses a PFC-free (perfluorocarbon-free) formulation, making this DWR treatment significantly more environmentally responsible than older fluorocarbon-based alternatives while maintaining excellent hydrophobic performance. For optimal longevity of the DWR treatment, KJUS recommends machine washing the garment and reactivating the treatment with low-temperature tumble drying according to the care instructions.
Lightweight construction is a defining principle across the entire KJUS product range, and the Regulator Gilet fully embodies this ethos. By selecting materials with an industry-leading warmth-to-weight ratio, KJUS ensures that this gilet adds meaningful insulation to your layering system without creating the heavy, cumbersome feeling that can interfere with your game. The sleeveless silhouette further reduces overall weight while concentrating warmth exactly where it is needed most — across the core. This makes the Regulator Gilet an ideal mid-layer on cooler mornings that can be easily packed away as the day warms up, or an effective outer layer in mild conditions when a full jacket would be excessive.
The inner lining of the Regulator Gilet is engineered from a stretch polyamide-elastane blend that actively pulls perspiration away from the skin and disperses it across a wider surface area so that it can evaporate rapidly. This moisture transport system is essential for maintaining comfort during rounds where your exertion level changes — keeping you dry whether you are walking briskly between holes or waiting at the tee. The lining also acts as a smooth, friction-reducing interface between the insulation layer and your base layer or polo shirt underneath, ensuring the gilet slides on and off easily and sits comfortably against the skin throughout the round. Combined with the DWR outer treatment, the lining forms a two-sided moisture management system that works both inside and outside the garment.
