Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Astrel Padded Jacket is an ideal choice for men who need reliable protection against unpredictable, wet, and windy outdoor conditions. Engineered with premium synthetic insulation and advanced weatherproofing, this jacket excels at keeping you warm and dry during autumn and winter outings. While the synthetic down provides excellent thermal retention, users should note that it is designed specifically for technical performance, which may feel more structured than casual lifestyle outerwear.

FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, with a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm, it is classified as waterproof and capable of withstanding heavy, sustained rain.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
You can, provided you use a low-temperature cycle, a gentle detergent, and avoid fabric softeners that can block the waterproof pores.
Does it have a hood?
The Astrel Padded Jacket features a structured design focused on the torso; please check the specific collar configuration, as many versions feature a high-neck protective design.
Is the synthetic down warm enough for sub-zero temperatures?
It provides excellent warmth for most autumn and winter conditions. In extreme sub-zero temperatures, it is best used as part of a layering system.
How should I store this jacket?
Store it hanging on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the heat-sealed panels and ensure it stays completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on re-proofer specifically designed for waterproof technical gear.
Jacket feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and minimal detergent. Air-drying is recommended over machine drying to preserve the bonded baffles.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High 15,000mm hydrostatic head rating for extreme weather
- Heat-sealed baffles prevent cold spots and moisture ingress
- Synthetic insulation retains warmth in wet conditions
- Windproof construction ideal for exposed environments
Cons
- Synthetic insulation is heavier than natural down
- Structured design may feel rigid compared to lifestyle jackets
- Requires specific care to maintain the bonded fabric finish
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this jacket is made from specialized technical materials, proper care is essential to maintain the integrity of the heat-sealed bonds and the waterproof coating. Always wash the jacket in cool water with a mild, non-biological detergent to avoid stripping the protective finish. Do not use fabric softener, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane. The jacket is designed to be worn over standard base layers and mid-layers, such as a fleece or long-sleeve shirt; for the best performance, avoid wearing sharp items inside the jacket pockets that could potentially abrade the internal liner.
