Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Freesdale Jacket is designed for adult females seeking reliable waterproof and breathable protection for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is the advanced ISOTEX 15000 fabric, offering excellent weather resistance and comfort. A minor consideration is that while stretch fabric enhances movement, its primary function is weather protection, not athletic performance. This jacket features a lightweight, anti-tear polyester construction with sealed seams, an adjustable hood, and multiple pockets for practicality.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of ISOTEX 15000 fabric?

ISOTEX 15000 offers a high level of waterproofing and breathability, keeping you dry from external rain while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind and rain protection but is not heavily insulated. It is designed to be layered with warmer clothing for colder conditions.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C using a specific liquid detergent for technical fabrics. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Re-waterproof periodically.

Does the hood offer good protection in strong winds?

Yes, the hood is adjustable and features a wired visor, which helps to maintain its shape and provide better protection against wind and rain, keeping it away from your face.

Can I wear this jacket for intense physical activity?

The jacket offers good breathability, but for very high-exertion activities where significant sweat is produced, some moisture may still build up. It is best suited for hiking, walking, and moderate outdoor activities.

What does 'anti-tear' fabric mean?

Anti-tear fabric is woven in a way that prevents small rips or tears from spreading further through the material, enhancing the jacket's durability.

How are the zippers protected from rain?

The central front zip includes a drain groove to help channel water away. While the zippers are designed for water resistance, the primary waterproof barrier is the fabric and sealed seams.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all zips are fully closed and that the fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment has not worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary, following product instructions.

Reduced breathability (feeling clammy)

Check for blockages in the fabric pores. Wash the jacket according to care instructions using a technical fabric cleaner to remove accumulated dirt and oils. Ensure internal pockets are not overloaded, which can impede airflow.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Seams appear to be losing their seal

Inspect the seam tape for damage. If minor issues are visible, a seam sealer can be applied. For significant damage, contact customer support or consider professional repair.
