FAQs
Is the Regatta Hydi Gilet machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a cool, gentle cycle and avoiding bleach or fabric softeners.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, its slim, sleeveless profile makes it an excellent mid-layer for extra warmth under a shell.
Is the gilet windproof?
While not fully windproof, the quilted structure and high collar offer significant protection against light to moderate winds.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Yes, the gilet follows standard UK sizing. If you plan on wearing thick layers underneath, some users prefer to size up.
Are the pockets zippered?
The product features two side pockets for storage; please check the specific model version for closure details.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR re-proofer to restore water repellency.
Gilet feels less warm than when new
Synthetic insulation can become compressed. Ensure you wash and dry the item properly to restore loft, and avoid leaving it folded under heavy items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Hydi Gilet, adhere to these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the DWR finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting and consider adding dryer balls to help fluff the synthetic filling.
- Layering: The gilet is designed to be worn over base layers or light sweaters and fits comfortably under heavier outer shells when the weather turns truly cold.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the garment for long periods to preserve the loft of the synthetic insulation.
