Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Freesdale Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is full waterproof protection combined with breathability, thanks to Isotex technology. A minor caveat is that while durable, the ripstop fabric requires proper care to maintain its performance over time. Key features include a grown-on hood with adjusters, a full zip fastening, shockcord hem, and multiple pockets for essential storage.

FAQs

What does the 30000g/m²/24hrs rating mean?

This rating refers to the breathability of the fabric. It indicates that 30,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, signifying high breathability.

How do I determine my correct size?

The available sizes are S (38 in), M (40 in), L (42 in), XL (44 in), XXL (48 in), and 3XL (51 in). These measurements refer to the chest size in inches.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

This jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when water no longer beads up on the surface and starts to soak into the fabric. This typically depends on the frequency and intensity of use, but can range from every few washes to once a year.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 70% Polyester and 30% Recycled Polyester, featuring a durable ripstop fabric.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is a grown-on hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.

Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Check that ventilation points (if any) are not obstructed. Consider re-proofing if the DWR is compromised.

Zip is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zip with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the zip teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup as it is ready to wear out of the package. It is compatible with various outdoor activities. To maintain its waterproof and breathable qualities:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C. Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish using a spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency. Follow the product instructions for re-proofing agents.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid long-term storage in a compressed state to maintain fabric integrity.
