FAQs
Is the Regatta Hamara IV suitable for winter use?
It provides excellent wind and rain protection, but it is a shell jacket. You should wear an insulated base or mid-layer underneath during winter.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash it at 30°C. Use a mild detergent and never use fabric conditioner, as it damages the waterproof coating.
Does the hood detach?
No, the jacket features a grown-on technical hood that is permanently attached.
What is the benefit of the wired hood peak?
The wired peak allows you to shape the hood to stay in place even in high winds, keeping the hood stable and your face dry.
Is the jacket fully windproof?
Yes, the Isotex 10000 fabric is both fully waterproof and windproof, shielding you from harsh gusts.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the jacket.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish likely needs reactivating or re-applying. Wash the jacket, then apply a spray-on or wash-in water repellent treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket during heavy activity.
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers. If you wear cotton, it will hold moisture and counteract the breathability of the jacket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Hamara IV, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Use a technical laundry detergent specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the fabric pores and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the garment loses its water-repellent finish, tumble dry on a low setting or iron on low to reactivate the DWR coating.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed or damp for long periods.
- Layering: This jacket functions as a shell. For colder climates, wear a mid-layer such as a fleece or a thin synthetic puffer jacket underneath to maintain body heat.
