Regatta Hoscar Waterproof Insulated Jacket - Green - XXL

No, the hood is a grown-on technical wired hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar.

While it provides good waterproof and thermal protection, it lacks specific features like a snow skirt, so it is better suited for hiking and general outdoor use.

The Hoscar is insulated with THERMOGUARD, providing warmth, whereas a standard shell is usually just a waterproof layer without active heat retention.

No, the Hoscar features a specific longer-length design across all sizes to maximize heat retention and coverage.

The sleeves feature adjustable cuffs that use hook-and-loop closures to secure tightly over your wrists or gloves.

As with most high-performance waterproof fabrics, there is a slight audible rustle, but the material is designed to be as quiet and flexible as possible.

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in reproofing treatment.

Ensure the front zip is managed correctly and consider removing a layer if you are over-heating; the fabric is breathable but relies on a temperature differential to function.

Clean any debris from the zip tracks with a soft brush and apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant if necessary.
