The Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket is a high-performance shell designed for active women who require reliable protection against wet and windy conditions. Built with Isotex 15000 technology and stretch polyester, it provides excellent weatherproofing and breathability for outdoor activities like hiking or daily commuting. While it offers superior technical performance, users should note that as a technical shell, it relies on layering during colder temperatures to maintain warmth.

No, the Birchdale II features a technical 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached for better weather protection.
The jacket has a tailored fit. If you prefer to wear bulky layers underneath, we recommend considering a size up from your standard dress size.
It is best to air dry the garment. While some technical fabrics can tolerate low heat, high temperatures can damage the waterproof membrane.
This refers to the hydrostatic head test, meaning the fabric can withstand water pressure equivalent to 15,000mm of rain before leaking.
The pockets use water-repellent zips to significantly reduce water ingress, but they are not considered 100% submersible; store electronics carefully in heavy rain.
The DWR finish has worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a fresh DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Check your layering system. The jacket is breathable but if your base layers are cotton, they may be trapping sweat. Use moisture-wicking synthetic or wool layers.
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, adjust the hood toggles and hem shockcords before heading out to create a seal against the wind. For layering, the jacket is compatible with standard fleece or lightweight insulated mid-layers; due to the tailored cut, ensure you have enough room underneath if you plan to wear heavy sweaters. For care, wash the jacket on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments. Avoid using standard fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the membrane and compromise breathability. Always air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources, and apply a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric.
