Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Regatta Oakhowe jacket requires no complex setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. The detachable hood can be attached or removed using its fastening system, and the adjustable cuffs and hem can be tightened or loosened to achieve the desired fit.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a primary outerwear layer. It is compatible with layering systems, allowing you to wear base layers and mid-layers underneath for added warmth. Ensure your chosen layers do not restrict movement within the jacket.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with a technical wash detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability and water repellency.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for approximately 20 minutes to reactivate the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish. Alternatively, dry flat away from direct heat sources.
- Re-proofing: If the water repellency diminishes, re-proof the jacket using a suitable fabric waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions. This typically involves applying the treatment and then tumble drying to activate it.
