FAQs
Is the Regatta Gaia Jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light showers and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.
Can I wear this in deep winter temperatures?
The Gaia jacket is designed for cool-weather wear. In freezing conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer underneath a heavier waterproof shell.
Does this jacket have an internal pocket?
No, this model features two external zipped lower pockets for secure storage.
Is the hood detachable?
The Gaia Jacket is a collar-style jacket and does not feature a hood.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild soap, and avoid using fabric conditioners.
What does the drawcord waist do?
The drawcord allows you to tighten or loosen the fit around your waist, which helps trap warmth and offers a more flattering shape.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR finish has worn off. Wash the jacket to remove surface dirt and apply a technical water-repellent spray treatment.
The insulation feels slightly flat after washing.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. A short tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls can help redistribute the insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Gaia Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying, use a low heat setting and consider adding dryer balls to help fluff the insulation.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the water-repellent coating may fade. If you notice water soaking into the fabric instead of beading up, apply a DWR spray treatment.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger to maintain the jacket's shape and prevent creasing.
