FAQs
What does 'Ared 10/10' mean?
Ared 10/10 is Regatta's own fabric technology rating, indicating a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs. This provides good protection against rain and wind while allowing perspiration to escape.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is a 'grown on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket. However, it features a technical design with a wired peak for adjustability.
How do I know if the 'S' size will fit me?
The 'S' size corresponds to a chest measurement of 38 inches. It is recommended to measure your chest circumference and compare it to the provided size chart to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear this jacket for activities other than skiing?
Yes, while designed for skiing, the jacket's waterproof and breathable features make it suitable for other outdoor activities in cold or wet conditions, such as hiking or general winter wear. However, its specific ski features might be unnecessary for casual use.
What does 'PFC Free' mean for the water repellency?
PFC-free means the water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are often harmful to the environment. This provides a more sustainable and eco-friendly water-repellent finish.
How do I re-apply the water-repellent finish?
After washing and drying the jacket, you can re-apply the DWR finish using a spray-on or wash-in product. Follow the specific instructions provided with the re-proofing agent. Typically, this involves spraying evenly and ironing on a low heat setting to activate.
What are 'heat-sealed baffles'?
Heat-sealed baffles are seams that have been sealed using heat to prevent the insulation from escaping and to stop water or wind from penetrating. This construction method ensures consistent warmth and enhances the jacket's waterproof properties.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through the seams.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication. Follow care instructions for re-proofing.
Jacket feels cold in sub-zero temperatures.
This jacket is designed for moderate cold. For extreme temperatures, layer a warm, insulating mid-layer (like fleece or down) and a thermal base layer underneath.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth and move the zipper back and forth to loosen it.
Snowskirt is not staying in place.
Ensure the gel grip is clean and free from debris. Fasten the snowskirt securely around your waist or attach it to compatible ski pants if the jacket has that feature.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for varied weather conditions.
- Uses recycled materials for insulation and lining, promoting sustainability.
- Environmentally friendly water-repellent treatment (PFC/PFOA/PFOS Free).
- Thoughtful design with ski-specific features like a snowskirt and ski pass pocket.
- Adjustable cuffs with thumb loops and a grown-on hood for added protection.
Cons
- May not provide sufficient warmth for extreme sub-zero temperatures without additional layering.
- The 'S' size might run larger than standard sizing for some individuals (based on provided chest size 38 in).
- Primarily designed for skiing, may be overkill or less versatile for casual everyday wear.
- While durable, the colour block design might not appeal to all aesthetic preferences.

- Maintenance: Re-apply a water-repellent finish periodically, especially after washing, to maintain performance. Follow the product instructions for the re-proofing agent. Use the provided cloth wipe for minor spot cleaning.
