FAQs
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' design, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar of the parka.
Can I wear this while hiking?
While the parka is breathable, it is designed for warmth. It is best suited for low-to-moderate activity in cold weather rather than high-intensity hiking.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, thanks to Isotex 8000 technology and taped seams, the jacket is designed to be fully waterproof and windproof.
What does the down alternative filling offer?
The down alternative provides excellent thermal retention similar to natural down but remains effective even if the garment gets damp.
How should I choose my size?
This parka is designed as a standard adult fit. If you plan to layer heavily underneath, consider your usual size as the fit is designed to accommodate extra clothing.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Clean the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zip feels stiff or sticks during use.
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Wipe the zip path with a damp cloth or apply a small amount of non-staining wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Yewbank II Parka, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical garment detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting.
- Re-proofing: Over time, if water no longer beads on the surface, apply a specialized DWR re-proofer to maintain the waterproof integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the garment's shape. Ensure it is completely dry before long-term storage to prevent mildew.
