Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hamara IV Waterproof Jacket is designed for women seeking reliable protection against wet and windy conditions during everyday outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its advanced Isotex 10000 technology, offering excellent waterproofing and breathability. A potential caveat is that while highly functional, its textured finish and plain design may be more suited for practical use than high fashion.

FAQs

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 is Regatta's own waterproof and breathable technology. '10000' refers to its performance ratings: 10000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing and 10000g/m²/24hrs for breathability, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain and active use.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and wind protection. While it can be layered over warm clothing, it is not insulated itself and may not be sufficient for extreme cold without additional thermal layers.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?

Machine wash inside out with similar colors using a liquid detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. For best results, reapply a DWR treatment periodically.

Can I wear this jacket for strenuous activities like running?

Yes, the jacket offers good breathability (10000g/m²/24hrs), making it suitable for activities that generate heat. However, for very high-intensity activities, even more breathable options might be preferred.

What is the purpose of the wired peak on the hood?

The wired peak helps to keep the hood's shape and direct rain away from your face, providing better visibility and protection for your eyes during wet and windy conditions.

Does the jacket have pit zips for ventilation?

The product description does not mention pit zips. Ventilation is primarily managed through the full zip fastening and the jacket's inherent breathability.

What is the textured finish?

The textured finish refers to the surface feel and appearance of the polyester fabric, which gives it a slightly rugged look and feel, contributing to its durability.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Ensure all zippers and fastenings are closed. Check that the DWR finish is still effective; if not, consider re-applying a DWR treatment. Ensure the taped seams are intact.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Check that the inner mesh lining is not blocked by debris. Ensure you are not overheating; adjust ventilation by opening the main zip slightly. Wash the jacket as per care instructions to remove any residues that may block breathability.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper. Clean any debris around the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or a zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Fit is not as expected.

Adjust the shockcord hem and the hood toggle. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath for the desired fit. Refer to the sizing guide if unsure about the correct size.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Wash inside out with similar colors.
