Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Regatta Lyle IV Waterproof Hooded Jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack it and wear it. Ensure the full zip is closed and the hood and hem toggles are adjusted for optimal fit and protection.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed as outerwear and is compatible with a wide range of clothing layers underneath, from t-shirts to fleece mid-layers, depending on the weather conditions.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (warm). Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Once dry, it is recommended to tumble dry for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Re-proofing: For extended performance, consider re-applying a DWR waterproofing treatment periodically, especially if the fabric no longer beads water effectively. Follow the product instructions for the re-proofing agent.
