Regatta Frina Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Cream

The Regatta Frina jacket is designed for waterproof and breathable protection. While it can be layered with warmer insulation for cold weather, it is not a heavily insulated jacket on its own.

The hood has adjusters (likely drawcords) at the back and possibly the front. Tighten or loosen these to achieve a snug fit around your head, and utilize the wire peak to keep rain away from your face.

Isotex 15000 refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathability rating. It means the fabric can withstand a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm of water and has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with similar colours. Avoid using fabric softener or powder detergent.

Re-waterproof as needed, typically when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and the fabric starts to 'wet out'. This depends on usage and care, but often after several washes or significant wear.

The underarm vents are designed to increase airflow and help regulate your body temperature, especially during physical activity, by allowing excess heat and moisture to escape.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure seams are sealed and there are no tears.

This can happen if breathability is compromised or during intense activity. Ensure underarm vents are open and consider wearing fewer or lighter layers underneath. Check that the fabric is clean, as dirt can clog pores.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil.
