Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Romine II Parka is ready to wear straight out of the package. Simply adjust the hood and internal drawstrings (if present) for a personalized fit that keeps the elements out.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for versatility. It layers well over casual wear like sweaters and jeans for everyday use. For colder conditions, combine it with a fleece or a thermal base layer underneath to maximize warmth. Its classic parka style and sophisticated finish make it compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits.
Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance and longevity of your jacket, especially its waterproof and breathable qualities.
- Check the Care Label: Always refer to the specific washing instructions on the inside care label of your jacket.
- Pre-Treatment: Before washing, close all zippers and fastenings. Loosely brush off any dry mud or dirt.
- Washing: Generally, most waterproof jackets with synthetic insulation are machine washable on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C/86°F) using a technical outerwear cleaner. Avoid regular detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof coating and breathability.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally, away from direct heat. Tumble drying on a low setting may be possible, but always check the care label first. If machine drying, consider adding a few clean tennis balls to help fluff the Thermoguard insulation.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outside of the jacket may wear off. If water no longer beads up but soaks into the fabric, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment, available as a spray or wash-in product. Follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.
> Info needed: Specific washing and drying temperatures and instructions for Isotex 10000 and Thermoguard insulation should be checked on the product's internal care label or Regatta's official website for precise guidance.
