Regatta Daysha Waterproof Jacket - Blue - 10

While the Regatta Daysha jacket is designed to be waterproof, its primary function is protection from the elements. The product description emphasizes its waterproof and bulk-free nature. As a shell, it provides a barrier against rain and wind, but advanced breathability features common in some higher-end membranes are not explicitly mentioned. Condensation can occur depending on your activity level and the ambient temperature.

The Daysha jacket is a waterproof shell layer, meaning its main purpose is to keep you dry and protect against wind. It offers minimal insulation on its own. For cold weather, you will need to wear appropriate insulating layers (like a fleece or down jacket) underneath to stay warm.

To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket according to the care label instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Periodically, you may need to re-apply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment (available as sprays or wash-in products) when you notice water no longer beads off the fabric surface.

Info needed: The product description does not specify details about pockets. A minimalist design is common for bulk-free shell jackets. Please check the physical product or product images for clarification on pocket features.

The jacket is constructed from 100% polyester, featuring Regatta's Hydrafort technology and a durable water repellent finish for effective weather protection.

The description states 'Pull on the hood when rain falls,' indicating that it is an integrated, non-removable hood designed for quick and easy deployment.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-activating or reapplying. Wash the jacket following care instructions, then consider using a specialist DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in product. Tumble drying on low heat (if permitted by care label) can sometimes reactivate existing DWR.

Ensure you are not overheating, as body heat and perspiration can cause condensation inside a waterproof shell. This jacket focuses on keeping rain out; consider your layering to manage perspiration effectively. If it's condensation, try unzipping slightly during less intense rain to ventilate.

Hang the jacket to air dry immediately after washing. Avoid wringing or twisting. If allowed by the care label, a very low-heat iron (with a protective cloth) or a short, cool tumble dry might help reduce wrinkles, but always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
