FAQs
Is the Regatta Hydi Gilet waterproof?
It features a water-repellent finish which is designed to shed light rain, but it is not waterproof and will soak through in heavy or persistent downpours.
What should I wear underneath it?
It is designed as a layering piece and works well over base layers, long-sleeve tops, or thin knit sweaters.
Can I machine wash this gilet?
Yes, please check the care label on the inside of the garment for specific temperature settings, but generally, a cool, gentle wash is recommended.
Does it have an internal pocket?
No, this specific model features two external side pockets for hand warmth and small storage.
Is the filling real down?
No, it uses a high-quality synthetic filling that is lightweight and easier to care for than traditional down.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beading on the surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment to remove oils and dirt, then apply a specialized outdoor fabric water-repellent spray.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth of the zipper and clean any lint or debris from the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Hydi Gilet is ready to wear immediately out of the package. It is highly compatible with other layering pieces like fleece pullovers, flannel shirts, or base layers. To maintain the water-repellent finish, wash the garment according to the care label, typically using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can degrade the DWR coating. If the water-repellent performance wanes over time, you can re-apply a DWR spray treatment to the exterior fabric once the gilet is clean and dry.
