Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Waterproof Fleece Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is the combination of waterproof, breathable fleece with a durable water-repellent finish, ensuring comfort in wet conditions. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it may require additional layering for extreme cold. This jacket offers excellent weather resistance through its Isotex 5000 fabric, taped seams, and inner storm flap, while the anti-pill fleece ensures durability and comfort.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features Isotex 5000 waterproof and breathable technology with taped seams, offering good protection for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproof layers might be beneficial.

What temperature range is this jacket best for?

The fleece provides insulation, making it suitable for cool to mild conditions. For colder weather, it functions best as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and powder detergents. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Refer to the care label for specific instructions.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

'Anti-pill' means the fleece fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls of fiber (pills) on its surface, helping the jacket maintain its appearance and feel over time.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

No, fabric softener should be avoided as it can clog the pores of the waterproof and breathable membrane, reducing its performance.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

Re-apply the DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

What are the pocket sizes like?

The jacket has one chest pocket, two lower pockets, and one concealed zip pocket. While specific dimensions aren't provided, they are designed to securely hold items like a smartphone, wallet, or small tools.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure seams are properly sealed if leakage occurs there.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

The breathability might be compromised. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue that could block pores. Check that the inner storm flap is not impeding ventilation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Fleece material is pilling.

While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction can sometimes cause minor pilling. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove any pills. Follow washing instructions carefully to minimize future pilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, it pairs well with base layers or mid-layers for added warmth. It is suitable for a range of outdoor activities.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (or as per the care label) using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is rinsed thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, especially if water no longer beads on the fabric surface. Follow the product instructions for the DWR treatment.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  5. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting after drying to reactivate the DWR treatment. Ensure the iron does not directly touch the fabric if using high heat.
