Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Defender III Waterproof 3-in-1 Jacket is designed for adult males seeking versatile outerwear for varying weather conditions. Its key benefit is providing adaptable protection, from fully waterproof and windproof coverage to a lighter fleece option. A potential caveat is that the peached polyester finish, while soft, may require careful handling to maintain its appearance. This jacket combines a waterproof and windproof outer shell with a warming inner fleece, offering three distinct wear options for ultimate adaptability.

FAQs
Can I wear the inner fleece and outer jacket separately?
Yes, the Defender III is a 3-in-1 jacket, meaning the inner fleece and the waterproof outer shell can be worn independently or zipped together.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and fabric softeners.
What material is the jacket made from?
The outer shell is made from waterproof Hydrafort peached polyester fabric with a mesh-lined body. The inner fleece is a 200-series anti-pill Symmetry fleece.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is concealed within the collar and features adjusters, but it is not designed to be detached.
What does 'peached polyester finish' mean?
A 'peached' finish involves a process that creates a soft, velvety texture on the surface of the fabric, similar to the skin of a peach, enhancing comfort.
How do I maintain the waterproof performance?
To maintain waterproofing, follow the care instructions and avoid fabric softeners. For restored performance, consider using a specific re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear.
What is the purpose of the concealed zip in the lining?
The concealed zip provides easy access to the outer jacket's lining, allowing for customisation such as adding embroidery or patches without damaging the waterproof outer fabric.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the fabric care instructions have been followed. Re-applying a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for outdoor fabrics may help restore waterproofing.
Inner fleece doesn't attach correctly
Check that the zips on both the inner fleece and outer jacket are clear of debris and aligned correctly. Ensure the fleece is fully inserted before attempting to zip.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically for zippers to improve smooth operation.
Fleece is pilling excessively
While 'anti-pill' fleece is designed to resist pilling, excessive friction can still cause it. Ensure you are washing and drying according to care instructions, and avoid high heat or harsh detergents.
