The Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection against wet and windy conditions. Its key benefit is the Isotex 15000 technology, offering excellent waterproofing and windproofing while remaining breathable. A potential caveat is its tailored fit, which might be restrictive for some users seeking a looser silhouette. This jacket is constructed from 100% recycled polyester with a mesh lining and stretch fabric, featuring a durable water repellent finish, taped seams, and articulated sleeves for enhanced movement. It includes a grown-on technical hood with adjusters, multiple pockets with water-repellent zips, and an adjustable hem.

Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's own technical fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a waterproof rating of 15,000mm (how much rain the fabric can withstand before leaking) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs (how much water vapor can pass through the fabric in 24 hours).
The jacket provides excellent wind and water protection, making it ideal for layering. For very cold conditions, you will need to wear appropriate insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece or down jacket.
The water-repellent zips are designed to resist light moisture. For cleaning, use a damp cloth. Ensure the zipper is fully closed after use to maximize its protective qualities. These zips help protect against rain and splashes, but are not designed for full submersion.
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, and do not dry clean or iron.
After washing, you can reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish by tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting for approximately 20 minutes. If this is insufficient, a specific re-proofer spray or wash can be applied, followed by the recommended reactivation process.
The jacket is available in a range of women's UK sizes. Please refer to the size chart in the product description or on the Regatta website for specific measurements.
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' technical hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have degraded over time; consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for technical fabrics and follow care instructions for reactivation (e.g., low heat tumble dry).
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
This may indicate that moisture vapor is not escaping quickly enough. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted and that you are not overheating. Check that the fabric's breathability hasn't been compromised by dirt or residues; wash according to care instructions.
Inspect the toggle and cord for any damage. If the cord has come loose from the toggle, re-thread it and secure it. If the toggle itself is faulty, it may need replacement.
