FAQs

What type of fabric is the Regatta Octagon II Jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% softshell Nylon, featuring a wind-resistant membrane fabric.

How do I determine my size?

Sizing is based on chest measurements. Please refer to the provided sizing details: Men's sizing (chest approx): XS (35-36in/89-91.5cm) up to XXXXXL (55-57in/140-145cm).

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

The jacket offers waterproof protection due to its membrane fabric. While suitable for rain, it is primarily designed as a waterproof and wind-resistant shell. For prolonged heavy downpours, additional waterproof layers might be considered.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning.

Does the jacket have a hood?

The provided product information does not specify the presence of a hood. Please refer to product imagery or detailed specifications if a hood is a requirement.

What is the purpose of the adjustable shockcord hem?

The adjustable shockcord hem allows you to tighten the bottom of the jacket, helping to seal out wind and cold air, and creating a more secure fit.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance and protection from water, making it a good outer layer. For cold weather, layering with warm base and mid-layers is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Re-waterproof using a suitable fabric treatment spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions. Check that the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is still active; if water beads up and rolls off, it's working. If not, reapplication may be needed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Move the zipper up and down slowly to distribute the lubricant.

Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain

This could be due to insufficient breathability or condensation. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can clog the pores of the membrane. If you've been very active, some internal moisture may be from perspiration. Open the jacket slightly or adjust the hem to improve ventilation.
