FAQs
Is the jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
The jacket provides good warmth with its fleece lining and sleeve insulation, making it suitable for cool to cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal clothing is recommended.
How do I maintain the waterproof feature?
Follow the specific washing instructions provided. Regular washing and tumble drying on low heat help to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. For long-term effectiveness, a DWR re-proofing spray may be applied.
Can this jacket be worn for work or promotional events?
Yes, the jacket features a concealed zip entrance in the lining specifically designed for easy embroidery, making it suitable for workwear and corporate branding.
What does Hydrafort 5000 mean?
Hydrafort 5000 is Regatta's own waterproof and windproof fabric technology. The '5000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand a certain amount of water pressure before leaking, offering protection in moderate rain.
What type of fleece is used?
The jacket uses a 220 series anti-pill Symmetry fleece lining in the main body, known for its warmth and durability, and resistance to pilling.
Does this jacket have a removable hood?
The jacket features a concealed hood with adjusters that can be stored within the collar when not in use. It is not designed to be fully removed.
Are there internal pockets?
Yes, besides the two zipped lower external pockets, there is one internal pocket for secure storage of personal items.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is reduced.
Wash the jacket following the care instructions, and tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Reapplying a specific DWR spray may also be necessary over time.
Fleece lining feels stiff or matted.
Ensure you are using a liquid detergent and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fleece. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore fluffiness.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track and operate it several times.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Check that the fleece lining and sleeve insulation are not compressed. Ensure all cuffs and hems are properly tightened to prevent heat loss. The jacket is designed for moderate cold; for extreme temperatures, consider layering.
