Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Allston Waterproof Insulated Jacket is designed for adult hikers who need reliable protection against harsh elements during long days on exposed hills or rugged terrain. It excels by combining the breathable ISOTEX 15000 waterproof fabric with eco-friendly THERMOGUARD insulation to keep you warm and dry without overheating; however, its robust build and insulating layers make it less suitable for warm-weather excursions or high-intensity aerobic activities where lighter layers are preferred.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter mountaineering?
It is designed for hiking and general outdoor use. While the insulation provides warmth, it is not a heavy-duty expedition parka.
Can I wear this in the summer?
Due to the integrated insulation, it is likely to be too warm for summer hiking and is best suited for autumn, winter, and spring.
What does ISOTEX 15000 mean?
It indicates a waterproof rating of 15,000mm, which is highly waterproof and suitable for heavy, sustained downpours.
Are the materials recycled?
The THERMOGUARD insulation inside this jacket is made from 100% recycled materials.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The jacket features adjustable cuffs and a shock cord hem, allowing you to cinch the fit to prevent cold air from entering at the wrists and waist.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the VisionAlign hood is an integrated design, which helps ensure better weather protection and durability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside
This is often caused by condensation buildup; ensure you are layering correctly with moisture-wicking base layers to allow the breathable fabric to function properly.
Water is soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment once dry.
Hood keeps blowing off in high winds
Utilize the integrated hood adjustment system to pull the hood closer to your face and secure the fit around your head circumference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, proper care is essential. The jacket is made of polyester and should be machine washed at a cool temperature. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) coating from the fabric. It is recommended to air dry the garment away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the synthetic insulation. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, you may apply a technical wash-in re-proofer to restore the factory finish. Always ensure that the zip is fully closed before washing to prevent snagging during the cycle.
