FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it will protect you from light rain showers, but it is not fully waterproof in heavy or sustained rain.

What does 37gsm mean?

Gsm stands for grams per square meter. A 37gsm weight indicates that the material is extremely lightweight and breathable.

Can I wear this over a thick sweater?

Yes, the flexible 20D construction and athletic cut allow for comfortable layering over mid-layers, though you may prefer your standard size for a fitted look.

Does it have an internal pocket?

No, this model features two external side pockets for convenience.

Is the high collar adjustable?

The collar is a fixed high-neck design, providing consistent coverage and wind protection when fully zipped.

Troubleshooting

Water is starting to soak into the fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and tumble dry on low, or apply a re-proofing spray specifically designed for synthetic technical apparel.

The zip feels stiff or catches on the fabric.

Ensure no loose threads are trapped in the zipper track. You can run a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Hydi Quilted Gilet, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying on a low, delicate setting can help reactivate the water-repellent finish if the garment starts to absorb moisture.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the gilet tightly for long periods to maintain the integrity of the quilted insulation.
  4. Compatibility: The slim profile allows it to fit comfortably under most standard-fit waterproof jackets or heavier winter coats.
