FAQs
Is the Regatta Yewbank II Parka machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a mild, non-biological detergent and following the specific instructions on the internal care label.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the parka features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar for better protection against the wind.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme mountain climbing?
While it is waterproof and warm, this jacket is primarily designed for general outdoor use, commuting, and walking. For technical mountain climbing, you may prefer a more lightweight, specialized shell.
Does it have an internal pocket for a phone?
Yes, the parka includes a security pocket which is ideal for keeping a phone or wallet safe and protected from the elements.
Is the insulation real down?
No, the parka uses a high-performance down-alternative filling, which offers excellent warmth while being easier to care for and more sustainable.
Troubleshooting
Water starts to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment with a technical re-proofer and tumble dry on low to reactivate the finish.
Inner lining feeling damp or sweaty during use
The jacket is highly insulated; ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton to maximize the breathability of the Isotex membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your parka maintains its water-repellent properties, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, wash the jacket in cool water with a mild, technical cleaner designed for waterproof shells. Avoid using standard fabric softeners as these can strip the DWR finish and block the breathability of the fabric. After washing, the jacket should be tumble dried on a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent coating. Always ensure the inner zip guard is fully closed before washing to prevent snagging. The parka features a standard cut that fits comfortably over sweaters and mid-layers, so order your usual size for the best fit.
