FAQs

Is the Regatta Altoro Thermal Padded Jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, the jacket features a waterproof stretch fabric with a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm and taped seams, providing excellent protection against heavy rain and snow.

What kind of insulation does this jacket use?

It uses 300gsm premium recycled feather-free synthetic down insulation, which provides significant warmth without bulk, even in damp conditions.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical cleaner suitable for waterproof and insulated garments. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, and close all zippers before washing.

What does '15,000mm hydrostatic head' mean?

This measurement indicates the jacket's waterproof rating. A 15,000mm hydrostatic head means the fabric can withstand a 15,000mm column of water before water begins to penetrate, signifying a high level of waterproofing suitable for prolonged exposure to rain.

Is the jacket breathable?

Yes, it has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours, meaning it allows a significant amount of moisture vapor to escape from the inside, helping to keep you comfortable during active pursuits.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The lower pockets are zipped for secure storage. While the outer fabric is waterproof, it's always best to use waterproof pouches for highly sensitive electronics if exposing them to extreme wet conditions, as zipper seams can sometimes be a weak point.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, with 300gsm feather-free synthetic insulation, it is designed for extreme cold-weather adventures. For the best performance, pair it with appropriate base and mid-layers.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading off the jacket.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and then reapply a suitable DWR treatment designed for outdoor gear. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.

Jacket feels less warm than before.

The synthetic insulation might be compressed or clumped. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. When tumble drying (on low heat), add a few clean tennis balls to help redistribute and fluff up the insulation. Avoid storing the jacket compressed for long periods.

Zippers are sticking or difficult to move.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush. Apply a zipper lubricant or wax specifically designed for outdoor gear to the teeth to improve movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Jacket smells or has mildew.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry after each use before storing. If mildew or odor is present, wash the jacket thoroughly using a technical cleaner designed for outdoor clothing. Air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Do not store damp.

Setup: The Regatta Altoro Thermal Padded Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are functioning smoothly before use. Adjust the hood and cuffs for a snug fit that maximizes warmth retention and weather protection. ## Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer layer for cold to extreme cold weather. It can be worn over base layers and mid-layers for customizable warmth depending on the activity level and temperature. Its sleek design also allows for comfortable movement. ## Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your jacket: 1. Washing: Close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing. Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle using a technical wash designed for waterproof and insulated garments. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the DWR finish and insulation. 2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help fluff up the insulation, or air dry flat away from direct heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and maintain insulation loft. 3. DWR Reapplication: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off, causing water to soak into the fabric instead of beading up. If this happens, clean the jacket and reapply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. 4. Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for extended periods, as this can reduce the loft and effectiveness of the insulation.
