Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the waterproofing of your Regatta Hoscar jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle. Use a technical gear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane.
- Reproofing: Over time, the outer water-repellent finish may wear off. Apply a specialized spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing when the fabric begins to 'wet out' rather than bead.
- Drying: Air dry the garment away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the insulation fibers and taped seams.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and hood.
