Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Romine II Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is the Isotex 10000 fabric, offering a strong balance of waterproofing, breathability, and windproofing, complemented by lightweight insulation for warmth. A potential consideration is that while it features a hood, it is a grown-on hood, which may offer less adjustability than a detachable one. Key features include its waterproof and breathable polyester construction, recycled Thermoguard insulation, DWR finish, taped seams, and multiple practical pockets.

FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 signifies that the fabric is waterproof and breathable, with a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours. This means it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allows 10,000g of water vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket features lightweight Thermo-Guard insulation, making it suitable for cool to cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal clothing underneath is recommended.
How do I care for the DWR finish?
To maintain the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents. After washing, you can re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions, often involving a tumble dry on low heat to activate it.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The Isotex 10000 rating provides good protection against rain. For prolonged exposure to very heavy downpours, its performance might be less than jackets with higher waterproof ratings, but it is highly effective for typical wet and windy conditions.
What kind of pockets does it have?
It features two lower pockets with flap closures for easy access and one internal zip security pocket, ideal for storing valuables like a phone or wallet.
What are the dimensions for size 10 UK?
For a size 10 UK, the corresponding measurement is 34 inches.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the Romine II features a grown-on hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking/not waterproof
Ensure the DWR finish is intact and consider re-applying a DWR treatment. Check that all seams are sealed and that the main zipper is fully closed. Machine washing with harsh detergents or fabric softeners can degrade waterproof properties.
Jacket feels clammy or wet inside
This could be due to humidity or the garment's breathability being overwhelmed. Ensure the main zipper and any pocket zippers are open during light activity to allow ventilation. Check that the fabric hasn't been contaminated with oils or dirt, which can affect breathability. Wash according to care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Jacket has lost its shape or insulation feels uneven
Follow the care instructions carefully. Tumble drying on a low heat can help redistribute the insulation evenly after washing. Avoid excessive heat or harsh spin cycles.
