FAQs
Is the Regatta Hydi Gilet machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable, though it is recommended to follow the care instructions on the garment label for best results.
Can I wear this over a thick jacket?
While possible, the gilet is primarily designed to be worn over base layers or mid-layers for maximum comfort and efficient heat retention.
Does it offer protection against heavy rain?
It features a water-repellent finish, which is ideal for light showers, but it is not waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the synthetic materials allow for breathability, making it well-suited for active pursuits where you want to retain core warmth without overheating.
Are the pockets zipped?
The gilet features two side pockets intended for everyday use; please check the specific product tag for internal zip closure details.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric surface
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need refreshing; apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider cleaning the zip track with a soft brush to remove dust or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the structure of the quilting.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place to prevent compression of the insulation.
- Compatibility: The sleeveless design works best when paired with long-sleeve base layers or lightweight fleece sweaters.
