The Regatta Freesdale Jacket is designed for adult males seeking robust protection against harsh weather conditions during outdoor activities like hill hiking. Its primary benefit is superior waterproofing and breathability, keeping you dry and comfortable even in extreme elements. A potential consideration is its technical design, which might be more than needed for casual use. This jacket features Isotex 30000 stretch ripstop fabric, taped seams for complete waterproofness, a technical peaked hood, and multiple pockets.

Isotex 30000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathable rating. '30000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 30,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 30,000g/m²/24 hours, signifying high performance in both areas.
Yes, the jacket is designed for harsh weather. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer appropriate thermal base and mid-layers underneath for insulation.
The frequency depends on usage and care. Reapply DWR when water no longer beads effectively on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or extensive use in wet conditions.
The jacket itself is waterproof with taped seams. However, the pockets are designed for general storage; contents may get wet in prolonged heavy rain. The inner zipped security pocket offers better protection for valuables.
Please refer to the retailer or Regatta's official website for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary by region and retailer.
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C using a technical water-repellent wash. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Ensure thorough rinsing and tumble dry on low to reactivate the DWR.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the DWR. If performance is still poor, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Ensure the zipper is free of debris. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric pores. Check that you are wearing breathable base and mid-layers. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and ensure thorough rinsing.
