This Regatta Professional Waterproof Fleece Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection in wet and windy conditions, offering waterproof, breathable, and quick-dry properties. Its primary benefit is keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during outdoor activities. A potential caveat is its utility-focused design, which may prioritize function over high fashion. Key features include Isotex 5000 fabric, taped seams, an inner storm flap, and multiple zipped pockets.

Isotex 5000 is Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '5000' indicates hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and breathability ratings, meaning it provides good protection against rain and allows some moisture vapor to escape.
This jacket offers good protection against wind and rain and has a fleece lining for warmth. However, it is primarily designed as a waterproof outer layer. For very cold conditions, layering with additional insulating garments underneath is recommended.
The Isotex 5000 fabric and taped seams offer good protection for moderate to heavy rain. For prolonged exposure to extreme downpours, a jacket with a higher hydrostatic head rating might be more suitable, but this jacket provides reliable defense for most typical wet weather scenarios.
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent (no fabric softener or bleach). Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Reapply a water-repellent finish periodically, especially after washing, to ensure the fabric continues to bead water effectively.
It features two lower zipped pockets for your hands or items, one chest pocket with a concealed zip, and an internal concealed zip map pocket.
This specific product listing is for the 'Plaid' pattern in Blue, size XL. Other Regatta Professional Waterproof Fleece Jackets may be available in different colors and patterns.
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions and that no fabric softener residue is present. For older garments, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need reapplication. Check if taped seams are intact.
This could be due to the breathability limit being reached during intense exertion, or the internal membrane may be clogged. Ensure the jacket is clean and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. If the issue persists, the fabric's breathability may be compromised.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
While the fabric is designed to be anti-pill, some minor pilling can occur with abrasion. Ensure correct washing and drying methods are used. Avoid washing with abrasive items. Minor pilling can often be gently removed with a fabric shaver.
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, available in various sizes (e.g., XL). While it's a standalone piece, it layers well over base layers or lighter mid-layers for added warmth. It is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities.
