Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Women's Waterproof Hamara IV Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection during all-weather outdoor activities. Its key benefit is keeping you dry and comfortable thanks to advanced waterproof and breathable fabric, taped seams, and adjustable features, making it ideal for hikes, commutes, and weekend walks. A potential caveat to consider is that while highly weatherproof, heavy prolonged submersion in water might eventually test its limits.

FAQs

What does Isotex 15000 mean?

Isotex 15000 indicates the fabric's hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand a 15,000mm column of water before it starts to leak through. It also signifies a high level of breathability.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent weather protection, but it is not insulated. For very cold weather, it's designed to be layered over warm mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after several washes or extensive use. Follow the instructions on your chosen DWR product.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

What is the main benefit of the taped seams?

Taped seams ensure that the stitching holes, which can be weak points for water entry, are sealed, providing complete waterproof protection.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal protection against wind and rain.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading on the surface anymore.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions.

Feeling damp inside despite no rain.

This could be due to a lack of breathability if the fabric is soiled or the DWR needs reactivation. Ensure the jacket is clean and consider a DWR re-treatment. Also, ensure you are not overheating due to excessive layering for the conditions.

Zippers feel stiff.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.

Pros and Cons

Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for comfort in varied weather.

Cons

May not be suitable for extreme mountaineering or prolonged exposure to torrential downpours without additional layers.

Care instructions require specific attention to maintain waterproof properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required; the jacket is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: Designed for women, suitable for adult users. It can be worn over various types of clothing, from light base layers to mid-layer fleeces, depending on the temperature.

Care Instructions:

Washing: Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Use a specific technical wash or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to product instructions to maintain water repellency. This is typically done after washing and drying.
