Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hydi Quilted Gilet is a versatile, lightweight layering piece designed for active adult women who need a blend of warmth and mobility during outdoor activities or everyday casual wear. Its core benefit lies in its combination of a protective water-repellent finish and a flexible, sleeveless construction that facilitates ease of movement. While it offers excellent core insulation, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it does not provide full arm protection against intense wind or rain.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Hydi Quilted Gilet waterproof?
It features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish which makes it water-resistant in light showers, but it is not classified as fully waterproof.
Can I machine wash this gilet?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle; always check the internal care label for specific instructions.
Does it come with a hood?
No, the Hydi gilet features a high collar design rather than a hood.
Is the fit true to size?
The garment is designed for an active fit, but since it is intended for layering, you may want to check the size guide if you plan to wear it over bulky sweaters.
What material is it made of?
The gilet is constructed from durable, high-quality polyester designed for longevity and warmth.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
Apply a spray-on DWR treatment specifically designed for synthetic quilted garments after washing.
Zip feels slightly stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean the zip area to remove any debris or dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a wearable garment, no setup is required beyond ensuring the correct fit for layering. The gilet is highly compatible with most casual wardrobes, including jeans, leggings, or technical trousers. To maintain the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish, it is recommended to wash the gilet on a cool cycle. Always refer to the internal care label for specific temperature settings. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can impede the DWR coating. Air drying is generally preferred to maintain the integrity of the quilted structure and the synthetic materials.
