FAQs

What does '3-in-1' mean for this jacket?

It means the jacket consists of two separate layers: a waterproof outer shell and a warm inner fleece. These can be worn together for maximum protection, or separately, offering three different combinations for various weather conditions.

How do I care for the waterproof treatment on the outer jacket?

To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket with a technical cleaner (not standard detergent) and avoid fabric softeners. Reapply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment periodically, following the product instructions, especially if water is no longer beading on the surface.

Can I wear the fleece and the outer jacket in very cold weather?

Yes, wearing both layers zipped together provides significant warmth and protection against wind and rain, making it suitable for cold conditions. The fleece offers insulation, while the outer shell blocks wind and water.

Is the hood detachable?

The outer jacket features a concealed, adjustable hood that is integrated into the jacket's design and is not detachable.

What is Isotex 10000?

Isotex 10000 is Regatta's own waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' rating indicates it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure in a 24-hour period, offering good protection against rain and wind.

How do I clean the fleece component?

The fleece can be machine washed, typically on a cool or warm setting with a mild detergent. Avoid high heat drying; air drying or a low tumble dry setting is recommended to prevent damage and shrinking.

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is well-suited for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, camping, and general everyday wear in variable weather conditions. Its versatility makes it a practical choice for commuters as well.

Troubleshooting

Outer jacket is leaking.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and check for any damage. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment if necessary. Make sure the storm flap is correctly fastened over the main zipper.

Fleece is pilling significantly.

Wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners. Gently brush the fabric to remove loose pills. Consider using a fabric shaver for persistent pilling.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zippers with a brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth to help them glide smoothly.

Jacket feels less waterproof after washing.

Ensure you used a technical wash detergent and did not use fabric conditioner. Re-treat the outer fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment following the manufacturer's instructions.

Inner fleece doesn't zip into the outer jacket easily.

Ensure the fleece is oriented correctly inside the outer jacket, with the fleece's zipper pull aligning with the outer jacket's internal attachment points. Make sure both zippers are fully opened before attempting to connect.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile for different weather conditions due to the 3-in-1 design.
  • Excellent waterproof and windproof protection with breathable fabric.
  • Durable construction with taped seams for longevity.
  • Comfortable fleece inner can be worn separately.
  • Ample storage with multiple well-placed pockets.
  • Adjustable features ensure a good fit and further weather protection.

Cons

  • May be bulkier than a single-layer jacket when both layers are worn.
  • The style might be more functional than fashion-forward for some users.
  • Breathability, while present, might not match high-performance technical shells in extreme conditions.
  • The two-way zip can sometimes be tricky to engage initially.
  • Fleece lining may pill over extensive use if not cared for properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket comes as a combined unit or as separate pieces. To wear as a 3-in-1 system, ensure the fleece is correctly aligned inside the outer jacket and zip it together using the integrated zip system. The outer jacket’s hood can be adjusted for a snugger fit.

Compatibility: The outer jacket and fleece are designed to zip together. The fleece is compatible only with the specific outer jacket it came with.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash the outer jacket and fleece separately or together according to care labels. Use a liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry the fleece on a low setting. For the outer jacket, air dry or tumble dry on a low setting, followed by a cool iron if necessary. Re-waterproofing treatments may be applied periodically according to product instructions to maintain the outer shell's performance.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before long-term storage.
