The Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket in Powder Lilac is designed for women seeking reliable protection against wet and windy conditions. Its key benefit lies in the Isotex 15000 technology, offering excellent waterproofing and windproofing while maintaining breathability, all constructed from recycled materials. A potential caveat is that its technical features might be more than needed for casual, light rain, though it performs admirably in adverse weather.

Isotex 15000 is Regatta's performance fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high before it starts to leak, signifying good waterproofing. It also implies good windproofing and breathability.
The jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. While it has a mesh lining, it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece or insulated jacket, underneath.
The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish that can wear off over time. You can restore this by washing the jacket according to the care instructions and then tumble drying on a low heat, or by applying a specific DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product.
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C with similar colours. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing and do not use bleach, iron, or dry clean the garment.
The stretch construction, combined with articulated sleeves, allows for greater freedom of movement. This means the jacket won't restrict your actions when you're hiking, climbing, or engaging in other outdoor activities.
The jacket features a water-repellent zip on the chest pocket, offering enhanced protection for items stored there. The main side pockets are designed to keep elements out but may not be fully waterproof in prolonged heavy submersion.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure all zips and seams are properly sealed.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Check that vents are not obstructed and that you are not wearing excessive insulating layers for the conditions.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax designed for zippers to ensure smooth operation. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Ensure the toggles are fully tightened and that the drawcords are not frayed or damaged. If the mechanism seems faulty, contact customer support.
Setup: The Regatta Birchdale II arrives ready to wear. Adjust the hood toggles, cuff tabs, and hem shockcord to achieve your preferred fit before your first use.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as outerwear for adult women. It layers well over mid-layers like fleece or base layers. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. Refer to sizing charts for accurate measurements.
