This Regatta Matt II men's hiking jacket in Grey, size XXL, is designed for adult males seeking reliable weather protection during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing waterproof and breathable comfort, keeping you dry and fresh. A potential caveat is its focus on core functionality, with advanced features not being its primary design goal.

FAQs

What is Isotex 10000?

Isotex 10000 is a Regatta proprietary fabric technology that offers a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs, meaning it's waterproof and breathable.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid fabric conditioners and bleach.

Can this jacket be used in cold weather?

Yes, it can be used in cold weather when layered with appropriate base and mid-layers for insulation. It provides a waterproof and windproof outer shell.

What does 'Durable Water Repellent' finish mean?

A DWR finish is a coating applied to the outer surface of the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket is waterproof due to its Isotex 10000 fabric and taped seams. However, like most breathable waterproof garments, prolonged submersion or extreme conditions may eventually lead to some water penetration.

What are the pocket sizes like?

The jacket features two zipped lower pockets and one inner pocket, suitable for carrying essentials like a wallet, phone, or keys securely.

How do I maintain the waterproof performance?

To maintain performance, reapply a DWR treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads effectively on the surface. Ensure the jacket is clean when reapplying treatments.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check that the DWR finish is still effective; if not, reapply a DWR treatment. Inspect taped seams for damage; if damaged, professional repair may be needed.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy

Ensure the mesh lining is clean and free from debris. Wash the jacket according to care instructions to remove any build-up of body oils or dirt that can impede breathability. Consider the layering system; too many insulating layers can overwhelm the jacket's breathability.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Hood is not staying in place

Adjust the hood's drawcords for a snugger fit. Ensure the packaway zipper is fully closed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent waterproofing and breathability for outdoor comfort.
  • Durable construction with taped seams ensures long-lasting protection.
  • Adjustable features offer a customizable and secure fit.
  • Practical storage options with multiple zipped pockets.
  • Ventilated with a mesh lining for improved comfort during activity.
  • Includes a packaway hood for adaptable weather protection.

Cons

  • May lack the advanced technical features found in higher-end specialized outdoor gear.
  • The GSM rating (185) suggests moderate weight; might not be suitable for extreme cold without layering.
  • Specific color (Grey) might not appeal to all preferences.
  • While waterproof, it's designed for general hiking and may not withstand prolonged submersion.
  • The reliance on polyester means it might not be the most eco-friendly option for all users, despite recycled content.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use to maximize weather protection.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as a standalone outer layer. For colder conditions, it is compatible with layering base and mid-layers underneath. It is suitable for adult men.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric conditioners or bleach.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not dry clean.
  • Re-waterproofing: Periodically, especially if the DWR finish appears less effective, apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for outdoor fabrics to maintain performance. Follow the product's instructions for re-waterproofing.
