Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket is designed for women seeking reliable protection against wet and windy weather. Its key benefit lies in its Isotex 15000 technology, offering excellent waterproofing and windproofing. A potential caveat for some users might be the tailored fit, which may feel restrictive if a looser feel is preferred. This jacket is constructed from 100% recycled polyester with a breathable mesh lining and stretch fabric for comfort and ease of movement. It features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, taped seams, a grown-on hood with adjusters, articulated sleeves, and multiple secure pockets.

FAQs

What does Isotex 15000 mean?

Isotex 15000 indicates that the fabric has a waterproof rating of 15000mm (meaning it can withstand a column of water 15000mm high) and a breathability rating of 15000g/m²/24hrs (meaning 15000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours).

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For very cold weather, you will need to layer insulating clothing underneath. It is not insulated on its own.

How do I clean the water-repellent zip pockets?

The water-repellent zip pockets should be cleaned carefully. Use a damp cloth to wipe them down. Avoid harsh detergents directly on the zipper area. Ensure they are completely dry before use.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

What is the environmental benefit of this jacket?

This jacket is made from recycled materials, contributing to reduced waste and a lower environmental impact.

How do I adjust the hem?

The hem has an adjustable shockcord. Pull the cord ends to tighten the hem for a snug fit, and release them to loosen.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. Reapply DWR treatment if the fabric is no longer beading water effectively. Check for any damage to the fabric or zippers.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper track with a damp cloth and gently try to lubricate it with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog pores. Check if the internal layers worn are also breathable. Ensure the jacket is not zipped up completely in very warm, humid conditions if not raining.

Hood is not staying in place.

Adjust the toggle adjuster at the front of the hood to tighten the fit around your face. Ensure the hood is correctly positioned before tightening.
