Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Slyvan remains effective, proper care is essential. Always check the internal care label before washing; generally, you should use a technical detergent suitable for waterproof garments to avoid stripping the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the synthetic fibers and waterproof membrane. For the best fit, utilize the adjustable cuffs to secure the sleeves over your gloves and tighten the hood to ensure full coverage. If the jacket loses its ability to 'bead' water over time, consider reapplying a technical reproofing spray to the outer shell to restore its water-repellent properties.
