FAQs
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The outer material of the Regatta Hurden Padded Jacket is 100% polyamide, with a micro ripstop construction and a polyamide lining.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and showers. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall.
What does '140gsm filling' mean?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A 140gsm filling indicates the weight of the insulation material used, providing a moderate level of warmth suitable for cool, rather than extreme, conditions.
Can I wash the jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
How should I dry the jacket?
It is recommended to tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. Using a few tennis balls or dryer balls can help restore the filling's loft.
What are the sustainability features of this jacket?
The jacket is made from recycled materials and is cruelty-free and feather-free, aligning with responsible manufacturing practices.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket features zip pockets for secure storage, but they are not described as waterproof. They offer protection against light splashes but should not be relied upon for keeping contents dry in heavy rain.
What is the 'grown-on hood' feature?
A grown-on hood is integrated directly into the jacket's neckline during construction, creating a seamless and streamlined profile when worn up or down.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not beading water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment after cleaning, following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Filling appears clumpy after washing.
Ensure the jacket was tumble dried on a low heat setting with tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the filling and restore loft. If clumping persists, gently separate any large clumps by hand while the jacket is slightly damp.
High-shine finish seems dulled.
Avoid ironing the jacket, as heat can damage the finish. Gently clean the surface with a damp cloth. If the finish is significantly dulled due to abrasion, it may not be fully restorable.
