Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Astrel Padded Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable outer layer for wet and windy outdoor conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high 15,000 mm hydrostatic head waterproof rating with synthetic down insulation, ensuring you stay both dry and warm during autumn and winter excursions. A notable caveat to consider is that while the jacket is highly weather-resistant, it is a synthetic-filled garment and may feel bulkier than specialized ultralight shells, so layering should be planned accordingly to maintain mobility.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Regatta Astrel jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it features a hydrostatic head of 15,000 mm, which makes it highly waterproof in heavy rain conditions.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, use a gentle cycle with a mild technical cleaner. Avoid softeners and heavy spin cycles.

Are the baffles stitched through?

No, the jacket uses a heat-sealed baffle design where panels are bonded, which helps prevent cold spots and moisture ingress.

Is the insulation real down or synthetic?

The jacket uses premium synthetic down padding, which provides warmth even when wet.

What does the 15,000 mm hydrostatic head rating mean?

It is a measure of how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before moisture penetrates; 15,000 mm is considered high performance for heavy rain.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme winter temperatures?

It provides excellent warmth for general cold weather, but for sub-zero extreme conditions, it is best used as part of a layered clothing system.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR finish may be wearing off; wash the jacket and apply a specialized waterproof re-proofer spray.

Jacket feels less warm over time

Wash the jacket to remove oils and dirt that mat the synthetic fibers, then tumble dry on low with clean tennis balls to restore loft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection with 15,000 mm hydrostatic head
  • Heat-sealed baffles prevent water from leaking through stitch lines
  • Synthetic insulation retains warmth in humid or wet climates
  • Effective wind-blocking capability for cold weather
  • Modern, clean aesthetic due to the bonded panel design

Cons

  • Synthetic padding adds more volume compared to light windbreakers
  • Limited to a specific aesthetic due to the heat-sealed baffle design
  • Polyester material may not be as breathable as specialized active shells

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Astrel jacket, proper maintenance is essential. Always consult the care label inside the garment for specific temperature settings. To clean the jacket, use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical fabric cleaner to maintain the waterproof coating. Avoid using standard biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. For drying, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help rejuvenate the insulation's loft. When storing, hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, ventilated area rather than compressing it in a drawer to ensure the synthetic fibers remain effective over multiple seasons.
