Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hydi Quilted Gilet is a versatile, lightweight layering piece designed for adult women who need reliable core warmth during transitional weather. Featuring a water-repellent finish and synthetic insulation, it provides excellent protection against light showers and chill without the bulk of a full jacket; however, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it does not provide coverage for the arms, necessitating appropriate long-sleeve base layers in colder climates.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

It features a water-repellent finish which makes it resistant to light showers, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be worn in heavy, persistent rain.

Can I wear this while hiking?

Yes, the stretch binding at the armholes and hem is specifically designed to allow for a full range of motion during outdoor activities.

How should I clean the gilet?

Use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners to keep the water-repellent properties intact.

Is the filling real down?

No, it uses synthetic filling which is hypoallergenic, easier to care for, and retains warmth even when damp.

Does it have an internal pocket?

The Hydi Gilet features two side pockets on the exterior; it does not list an internal security pocket.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric

The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment suitable for synthetic outdoor clothing.

Insulation feels flat after washing

Ensure the gilet is tumble dried on a low heat setting and periodically shaken or tumbled with clean dryer balls to redistribute the synthetic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Hydi Gilet, always consult the internal care label before washing. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent designed for synthetic fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-repellent finish. To maintain the loft of the synthetic filling, tumble dry on a low setting with a clean tennis ball to help fluff the insulation. For daily wear, simply wipe off surface dirt with a damp cloth. The gilet is highly compatible with fleece mid-layers or tight-fitting base layers, making it a staple for any outdoor wardrobe.
