It provides excellent comfort and protection against light weather thanks to its durable water-repellent finish, though it is primarily designed as a transitional piece rather than heavy-duty winter mountaineering gear.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features a durable water-repellent finish, meaning it is resistant to light rain but is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can this be washed in a machine?
Yes, it is machine washable; please follow the care label for the best temperature settings.
Are the pockets large enough for gloves?
The side zip pockets are designed for small items; they can fit lightweight gloves, but bulky items may not fit.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features a grown-on elasticated hood that provides a snug, wind-resistant fit.
What does 'grown-on' hood mean?
A grown-on hood is integrated into the body of the jacket rather than being detachable via buttons or a zip.
Is the material recycled?
Yes, this jacket is constructed using recycled materials as part of Regatta's commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
The zip feels stiff or gets stuck
Check for fabric caught in the zip guard and ensure no threads are obstructing the track.
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a commercial DWR re-proofer spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no assembly and is ready to wear immediately. To maintain the water-repellent finish and the integrity of the quilted material, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to protect the synthetic insulation and stretch binding.
- Re-treating: Over time, you may need to apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore its water-shedding performance.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger rather than leaving it bunched up to maintain the loft of the quilting.
