Full details
The Regatta Padded Jacket Rhodo is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection against the elements. Its key benefit is offering a balance of waterproofing, windproofing, and breathability, making it suitable for outdoor activities. A potential consideration is that while it provides good water resistance, it may not be suitable for prolonged heavy downpours.

It includes a grown-on hood with adjusters, storm cuffs, and multiple pockets for convenience.

FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates that the fabric is waterproof and breathable, capable of withstanding 10,000mm of water pressure and allowing 10,000g/m²/24hrs of moisture vapor to pass through.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. For best results, consider reapplying a DWR finish periodically.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, sub-zero temperatures?
While the Thermo-Guard insulation provides good warmth, it is designed for moderate to cool conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional warm clothing is recommended.
What is the purpose of the grown-on hood with a toggle adjuster?
The grown-on hood provides head protection, and the toggle adjuster allows you to cinch it closer to your face for a secure fit, preventing wind and rain from entering.
Can I put the jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C. However, it's important to use a mild liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners or powder detergents.
What types of pockets does this jacket have?
It features two lower pockets with flap and stud fastening, two convenient handwarmer pockets, and one internal pocket with a zip for secure storage.
Is this jacket made from sustainable materials?
Yes, this jacket is made from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable approach to clothing production.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not as waterproof as expected.
Check if the DWR finish has worn off. Consider applying a re-proofer suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Ensure all seams and fastenings are properly closed.
Jacket feels cold or loses warmth.
Ensure the Thermo-Guard insulation is not compressed. Check that the stormflap and cuffs are sealed to prevent drafts. Consider layering a warm base layer underneath.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper up and down while holding the fabric taut. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Inner lining feels clammy.
This can occur in high-exertion activities. Ensure the jacket's breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue; clean as per care instructions. Wear moisture-wicking base layers.
