FAQs

Is the Regatta Hydi Bodywarmer waterproof?

It features a water-repellent finish that protects against light drizzle, but it is not waterproof. You should wear a shell over it in heavy rain.

Can I machine wash this bodywarmer?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Always check the care label on the inside of the garment for specific temperature settings.

What is the material used for insulation?

The Hydi uses synthetic down, which is designed to provide the warmth of traditional down while maintaining performance when damp.

Does it have an internal pocket?

The garment features two secure external zipped lower pockets for your belongings.

Is this garment suitable for winter sports?

It serves as an excellent mid-layer under a heavier winter jacket, though it is not intended to be the sole layer in freezing temperatures.

How do I ensure the right fit?

The Hydi is designed for standard layering. Select your usual dress size if you plan to wear a thin base layer; consider sizing up if you intend to wear thick knitwear underneath.

Troubleshooting

Insulation feels flattened after washing

Tumble dry on low with tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the synthetic fibers.

Water stops beading on the surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need to be reactivated. Wash the garment and apply a spray-on re-proofer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Zipper feels stiff

Check for trapped fabric in the track and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite if the zipper remains difficult to move.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to sleeveless design
  • Lightweight and easy to pack for travel
  • Core warmth without added bulk
  • Secure pockets for utility

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, prolonged rainfall
  • Does not provide coverage for arms
  • Requires layering in extreme cold

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of the synthetic insulation and the water-repellent finish, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the water-repellent coating.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, ideally with dryer balls to help fluff the insulation and restore the loft.
  3. Storage: Hang the garment when not in use to prevent deep creases and maintain the integrity of the baffle structure.
  4. Compatibility: This bodywarmer is designed to be compatible with most standard waterproof shell jackets, making it an ideal companion for the 'layering system' approach to outdoor clothing.
