Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hamara IV Waterproof Jacket in Black is designed for adult females seeking reliable protection against the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its robust waterproof and windproof technology, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is its 118gsm fabric weight, which might be less breathable than lighter alternatives for intense activities. This jacket features a textured polyester fabric with taped seams and a breathable, durable water-repellent finish, a grown-on technical hood with a wired peak, and multiple zipped pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10000mm and a breathability rating of 10000g/m²/24hrs, indicating good performance in moderate to heavy rain.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

This jacket is designed primarily for rain and wind protection. For very cold weather, layering is recommended. Wear a warm insulating layer, such as a fleece, underneath.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or hang dry.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is a grown-on technical hood and is not removable.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made of 100% Polyester with a textured finish and a fabric weight of 118gsm. The lining is Mesh and Printed.

Does this jacket have internal pockets?

Yes, it features one inner pocket in addition to two side zip pockets.

How should I care for the water-repellent finish?

To maintain the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, avoid using fabric softeners and tumble dry on a low heat after washing. Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment as needed.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Water is leaking through the seams.

Check if the taped seams are intact. If damaged, seam sealing tape can be applied. Ensure no detergent residue remains from washing, which can affect waterproofing.

Jacket feels clammy inside despite not being wet from rain.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impair breathability. Consider if the conditions (e.g., high humidity, intense activity) are exceeding the jacket's breathability rating.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like a candle) to the zipper teeth.

Cons
