Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Astrel Quilted Jacket is an essential outer layer for adult men who require reliable protection against wet and windy weather conditions without compromising on comfort. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of a 15,000 mm hydrostatic head rating and premium synthetic down insulation, ensuring you stay dry and warm during outdoor pursuits or daily commutes. A key caveat to consider is that the jacket is specifically engineered for weather resistance rather than extreme high-mountain alpine conditions, making it best suited for typical temperate climates and changeable weather.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Astrel jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it is designed with a 15,000 mm hydrostatic head, which provides high-level protection against rain and wind.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash it, but it is best to use a gentle cycle with a dedicated cleaner for technical outerwear and avoid fabric softeners.
Does the jacket contain real down feathers?
No, it uses premium synthetic down padding, which offers similar warmth but is easier to care for and retains insulation properties when damp.
What does the bonded baffle design mean for durability?
Bonded baffles replace traditional stitching with a heat-sealed bond, which prevents water from leaking through needle holes and creates a more robust, snag-resistant surface.
Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?
While it provides warmth and weather protection, it is designed for general outdoor use, hiking, and daily wear rather than specialized high-altitude skiing or alpine climbing.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing treatment.
Insulation feels compressed after storage
Gently shake the garment to redistribute the synthetic down, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting with clean tennis balls to fluff the internal padding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical outdoor jacket, proper care is essential to maintain its performance features. To ensure the 15,000 mm waterproof rating remains effective over time, avoid using biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Always refer to the internal care label for specific washing temperatures, but generally, a gentle cycle with a specialized technical garment cleaner is recommended. If the water-repellency begins to fade, you can restore it by applying a technical re-proofing spray designed for synthetic fabrics. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain its shape and the integrity of the synthetic insulation.
