Full details
The Regatta Hydi Quilted Gilet is an ideal layering piece for adult women seeking lightweight core warmth during outdoor adventures or casual daily outings. Its synthetic-filled construction offers reliable insulation without the bulk of a full jacket, though the water-repellent finish is designed for light showers rather than heavy, sustained rainfall.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It features a water-repellent finish, which means it is resistant to light rain but is not fully waterproof.
Can I wash this in a machine?
Yes, it is generally machine washable on a gentle cycle, but always check the specific care tag inside the garment.
Does it have internal pockets?
No, this model includes two external side pockets for essentials.
What is the insulation made of?
It uses a synthetic filling designed to trap heat effectively while remaining lightweight.
Is the fit true to size?
The Regatta Hydi gilet follows standard UK sizing, and the stretch binding allows for a flexible fit around the shoulders and waist.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off; consider re-treating the outer shell with a fabric water-repellent spray.
Zipper sticking
Gently clean any debris from the zipper track and ensure no internal lining is caught in the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your gilet in peak condition, ensure you follow the care label instructions, typically suggesting a gentle machine wash at a low temperature to preserve the DWR coating. For compatibility, the slim-profile design fits easily under heavier winter coats for an extra layer of warmth or over a long-sleeve base layer during autumn months. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent properties of the outer fabric. Store the gilet on a hanger to maintain its quilted structure and loft over time.
