Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hydi Quilted Gilet is an ideal layering piece for active adults seeking lightweight warmth and core protection during outdoor excursions. It is designed to offer excellent mobility while maintaining essential thermal insulation in variable weather, though its sleeveless construction means it is best used as a mid-layer or as an outer layer during mild, damp conditions rather than in extreme winter storms.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

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

Can I wear this over a thick sweater?

Yes, the cut allows for layering, though it is primarily designed to be a streamlined mid-layer.

What is the filling made of?

It uses high-quality synthetic insulation designed to mimic the warmth of down while remaining effective when damp.

How should I clean the gilet?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the water-repellent finish.

Are the pockets zipped?

The Hydi gilet features two side pockets for hand warmth and storage; check the specific model for zip closures.

Troubleshooting

Water-repellent coating is failing to bead water

The DWR finish wears off over time. Wash the garment to remove dirt and apply a technical garment re-proofer spray.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Clean the teeth of the zip with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris and apply a light touch of silicone zipper lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This gilet is designed to fit true to size as a standard UK size 8. To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the water-repellent coating. Do not tumble dry unless on a very low heat setting.
  3. Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the gilet under heavy items for long periods to maintain the loft of the synthetic insulation.
  4. Maintenance: If the water-repellent performance fades over time, you can re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore its effectiveness.
