This guide is for adult males seeking a durable, waterproof jacket for outdoor activities. The Regatta Freesdale Waterproof Jacket in Black (XL) offers excellent protection against the elements with its Isotex technology and durable ripstop fabric. A minor caveat is the performance rating, which, while high, may not be suitable for extreme mountaineering conditions. Key features include a breathable, waterproof finish, a grown-on hood, multiple zip pockets for secure storage, and a comfortable stretch construction.

This rating refers to the jacket's breathability. It indicates that 30,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, signifying a high level of breathability.
The XL size corresponds to a 44-inch chest. Please refer to the product description for a full size chart including other available sizes like S, M, L, XXL, and 3XL.
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, layering is recommended. This jacket serves as an excellent outer shell to block wind and rain.
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat.
It's recommended to re-proof the jacket periodically, especially if you notice a decline in its water repellency. Following the care instructions and a final low-heat tumble dry after washing can help maintain its performance.
Isotex is Regatta's proprietary technology that provides waterproof, windproof, and breathable properties to their garments, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable outdoors.
Yes, the grown-on hood features a wired peak designed to help keep rain away from your face.
Ensure the fabric has been properly re-proofed. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider using a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
This could be due to high humidity or significant perspiration. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Check that the vents (if any) are open and that the garment is not over-layered for the conditions.
Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear out of the package.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Available in various sizes, including XL (44 in chest). Pairs well with layering pieces for added warmth.
