Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Birchdale II is a waterproof and breathable jacket designed for adult women undertaking high-level hikes and outdoor adventures. Its key benefit lies in providing complete rain protection, comfort, and agility through advanced Isotex 15000 polyester stretch fabric and taped seams. A potential caveat is that while highly water-repellent, extreme prolonged deluges may eventually test its limits.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of the Isotex 15000 fabric?

Isotex 15000 indicates a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high before leaking. It also offers good breathability.

How do I reapply the DWR finish?

After washing and drying the jacket, apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's specific instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Can this jacket be used in cold weather?

Yes, the Birchdale II is designed as an outer shell. You can layer it over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets for warmth in colder conditions.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket for continuous weather protection.

What is the main difference between Isotex 10000 and 15000?

Isotex 15000 offers a higher level of waterproofing (15,000mm hydrostatic head) compared to Isotex 10000 (10,000mm hydrostatic head), providing superior protection in heavier rain.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in a compressed state for long periods to maintain the integrity of the fabric and its waterproof/breathable properties.

What do 'taped seams' mean?

Taped seams means that waterproof tape is applied over the stitching on the inside of the garment, preventing water from penetrating through the needle holes.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through seams.

Ensure the jacket's care instructions have been followed, particularly regarding wash products. The DWR coating may need reapplication. If damage is suspected, contact Regatta customer support.

Jacket feels clammy or damp inside during high exertion.

This can be due to internal condensation. Ensure all ventilation points are open and that you are wearing breathable layers underneath. The jacket's breathability might be challenged during extreme activity levels in humid conditions.

Zips are stiff or difficult to operate.

Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip teeth for smoother operation.

Adjusters on hood or hem are loose.

Check the cord lock mechanism. Ensure the cord is properly threaded and the lock is engaging. If the cord lock is damaged, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent waterproof and breathability ratings for active use.
Stretch fabric provides superior comfort and mobility.
Multiple adjustment points (hood, cuffs, hem) for a custom fit.
Ample, secure pocket storage for essentials.
Durable construction suitable for challenging outdoor conditions.

Cons

While highly water-repellent, extreme prolonged submersion may compromise waterproofing.
Technical hood adjustment might require some practice for optimal sealing.
The breathability, while good, can be reduced with heavy exertion in humid conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Regatta Birchdale II requires no complex setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zips are fully closed before use. Adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem as needed for a comfortable and secure fit.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for outdoor activities and can be layered over base and mid-layers for added warmth. It is compatible with most backpacks and harnesses.

Care:

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash detergent.
Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membranes.
Rinse thoroughly.
Allow to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Re-apply a DWR finish periodically according to the product manufacturer's instructions to maintain water repellency.
