FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 15000mm, indicating a high level of water resistance.

How breathable is the Regatta Birchdale II jacket?

It offers a breathability rating of 15000g/m²/24hrs, which allows moisture vapor to escape, keeping you comfortable during physical activity.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

How do I maintain the waterproof performance?

Regularly re-apply a DWR finish after washing and drying, and ensure you follow the recommended washing and care instructions.

What does 'tailored fit' mean for this jacket?

A tailored fit means the jacket is cut to be more fitted to the body shape, offering a streamlined appearance and reducing excess fabric, while still allowing for movement.

Are there any specific care instructions for the pockets?

The pockets feature water-repellent zips. Ensure they are closed properly to maximize protection against moisture. Clean zips gently if they become stiff.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure all seams and zips are properly sealed.

Jacket feels clammy or wet inside.

This could be due to insufficient breathability or sweat buildup. Ensure the jacket is not too tight and that any vents are open. Check that the breathability has not been compromised by dirt or detergent residue; wash according to care instructions.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zip teeth carefully with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax-based product to the zip teeth for smoother operation.

Hood is not providing adequate coverage.

Adjust the toggle adjuster on the hood for a tighter, more secure fit around the face. Ensure the hood is fully extended and properly positioned.
