Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Matt II Waterproof Shell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities like hiking and climbing. Its primary benefit is the waterproof and breathable Isotex 10000 polyester fabric, which keeps you dry and comfortable in challenging weather. A potential caveat is that while offering good protection, it is a shell jacket and may require layering for significant warmth in very cold conditions. Key features include taped seams, a mesh lining for enhanced ventilation, a packaway hood, and adjustable cuffs and hem for a personalized fit.

FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Regatta Matt II is a shell jacket. It is designed to be waterproof and windproof and to protect you from the elements. For warmth, you will need to wear insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece or a down jacket, depending on the temperature.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C using a liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat or hang dry. Do not dry clean.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
It's recommended to re-waterproof the jacket periodically, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or after several washes. Follow the instructions on the specific re-proofing product you use.
Can the hood be removed?
The hood is designed to be 'packaway,' meaning it can be rolled up and stored within the collar. It is not removable.
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 is a Regatta proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' indicates that the fabric can withstand a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm of water and has a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs, meaning it effectively blocks rain while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, trekking, climbing, and general wet-weather outdoor use. Its waterproof and breathable properties make it versatile for variable conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water through seams.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. If leakage persists, the fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need reapplication. Clean the jacket and apply a suitable re-proofing treatment.
Jacket feels clammy or wet inside, despite no rain.
This indicates reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Check that the internal mesh lining is not obstructed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.
Adjustable cords/cuffs are not holding their position.
Check that the cord locks are clean and free of debris. Ensure the cords are not frayed. If damage is visible, repair or replace the cord and lock mechanism.
