FAQs
What makes the Hydrafort fabric waterproof?
Hydrafort is a proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric developed by Regatta. It typically features a membrane or coating that prevents water molecules from passing through while allowing water vapor (perspiration) to escape.
How does Thermoguard insulation work?
Thermoguard is a synthetic fiber insulation made from 100% recycled materials. It works by trapping small pockets of air within its structure, which then act as an insulator to keep body heat in and cold out. It is designed to be quick-drying.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
The Thermoguard insulation provides warmth suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering additional warm clothing underneath the jacket would be recommended.
Is the faux fur on the hood real?
No, the jacket features a chic faux fur trim, meaning it is made from synthetic materials and is not real animal fur.
How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof over time?
Regular washing according to the care instructions and reapplying a DWR finish when needed will help maintain its water-repellent properties. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores.
What are the benefits of the two-way central zip?
A two-way zip allows you to open the jacket from either the top or the bottom. This is useful for ventilation, especially when active, or for added comfort when sitting down, as it prevents the jacket from bunching up.
What is the intended use for this jacket?
The Regatta Sabinka Parka Jacket is ideal for daily commutes, city walks, and general everyday wear in cool and wet weather conditions. It balances style with practical protection.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment after washing and drying the jacket according to care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth for smoother operation.
Insulation feels less warm than before.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce insulation effectiveness. Check care label for correct washing and drying procedures, as improper cleaning can damage insulation.
Faux fur trim is matted after washing.
Ensure the trim was removed before washing. If it is still matted, gently brush it with a wide-tooth comb or a soft brush while dry to restore its fluffiness. Avoid high heat when drying.
