Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hoscar Waterproof Insulated Jacket is designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require robust protection against unpredictable mountain weather. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of ISOTEX 20000 waterproof, breathable fabric and high-performance THERMOGUARD insulation, ensuring you stay dry and warm in harsh conditions. However, potential users should note that the longer-length design, while excellent for heat retention, may feel slightly more restrictive during high-intensity climbing or scrambling compared to shorter-cut technical shells.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for skiing?

While it offers excellent waterproof and insulating properties, it lacks specific ski-oriented features like a snow skirt or dedicated lift-pass pocket.

How do I maintain the waterproof rating?

Keep the jacket clean and ensure the outer DWR layer is active. Regularly washing off dirt and grime helps prevent pores in the membrane from clogging.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is generally recommended to air dry. If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting, but check the care label inside the garment first.

What is the benefit of the wire peak on the hood?

The wire allows you to mold the hood to fit your face, which keeps it stable in high winds and prevents it from flopping over your eyes.

Does it have pit zips for ventilation?

No, this model relies on the inherent breathability of the ISOTEX fabric rather than mechanical ventilation zippers.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer to restore its waterproof functionality.

Feeling damp inside the jacket.

Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers underneath. If the sweat is not wicking away from your body, it will condense inside the jacket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High waterproof rating (ISOTEX 20000)
  • Superior warmth from THERMOGUARD insulation
  • Extra length provides better lower-body coverage
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during movement
  • Durable, high-quality polyester construction

Cons

  • Longer length might feel restrictive during high-intensity scrambling
  • Limited ventilation compared to lightweight shell jackets
  • Heavier feel due to insulation and longer cut

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Regatta Hoscar maintains its performance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Use a technical laundry detergent specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic insulation.
  3. Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer 'beads' on the surface of the fabric after heavy use, apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore the exterior water repellency.
  4. Layering: The jacket fits true to size for an adult male, offering enough room for a mid-layer fleece underneath. Ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking to get the most out of the breathable ISOTEX technology.
