FAQs
Is the hood detachable?
The Allston features a technical integrated hood designed for optimal weather protection and visibility.
Can this jacket be used for skiing?
While the waterproof and insulated properties are excellent for hiking, it is not explicitly categorized as a specialized ski jacket.
How do I check my size?
Refer to the standard Regatta sizing chart; the jacket is designed as an outer layer with enough room for mid-layers underneath.
Does it have a chest pocket?
The jacket includes multiple pockets, but please check the internal and external placements based on your specific model year.
How long will the waterproof protection last?
With regular cleaning and occasional re-application of a DWR treatment, the waterproof performance should remain effective for many years of hiking.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-beading property.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
While the fabric is breathable, extreme exertion can outpace the breathability rate. Adjust your layering system to ensure you are not wearing too many moisture-trapping base layers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-level waterproof rating (15000mm) for severe weather
- Breathable material prevents overheating during strenuous climbs
- Integrated insulation offers excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
- Taped seams provide enhanced durability and weather resistance
- Adjustable components ensure a snug, wind-proof fit
Cons
- Insulation may be too warm for mild, high-exertion spring days
- Technical aesthetic is primarily suited for outdoor environments
- Heavier feel compared to non-insulated ultralight shells
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its waterproof integrity, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash at 30°C using a specialized technical cleaner or a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying is generally discouraged unless directed by the care label, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating.
- Re-proofing: If water stops beading on the surface of the fabric, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing to restore performance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger to maintain the shape of the hood and insulation structure.
