FAQs

Is the Regatta Yewbank II Parka machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed, but it is recommended to use a mild detergent and follow the garment's specific care label instructions.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is integrated into the design for better weather protection, but it features toggle adjusters for a snug fit.

What is the insulation material made of?

The insulation is a cruelty-free synthetic down alternative that provides warmth similar to natural down.

Are the seams waterproof?

Yes, the jacket is constructed with taped seams to ensure maximum protection against water ingress.

Is the jacket windproof?

Yes, the combination of the dense polyester fabric and taped seams makes it highly effective at blocking wind chill.

Does the XXL size offer enough room for layers?

Yes, the Yewbank II is designed with a standard, roomy fit that allows for base layers or a mid-layer sweater underneath.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the surface.

The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash with a specialized technical gear detergent and reactivate via a low-heat tumble dry.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Check the inner zip guard to ensure no fabric is caught, then use a dry silicon lubricant if the teeth remain resistant.

Internal condensation buildup.

While breathable, the jacket may trap moisture during intense exertion; adjust your layering to allow for better temperature regulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with Isotex 8000
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating
  • Versatile storage options for daily carry
  • Cruelty-free insulation is lightweight and warm
  • Ribbed cuffs effectively block cold air

Cons

  • Heavyweight construction may be too bulky for active sports
  • Limited ventilation compared to technical climbing shells
  • Polyester material requires careful cleaning to maintain DWR

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your parka, it is important to maintain the DWR finish. When the jacket no longer beads water, you should wash it with a technical cleaner and, if recommended by the care label, tumble dry on a low setting to reactivate the water-repellent coating. Always store the garment in a cool, dry place on a hanger rather than folded to maintain the shape of the padding. Before heading out, ensure the hood toggles are adjusted to your head size to prevent wind from blowing the hood down during gusts. The jacket is designed to fit comfortably over layers like sweaters or flannel shirts due to its generous cut.
