FAQs

What activities is this jacket best suited for?

The Regatta Frina jacket is ideal for hiking, walking, trail running, and other outdoor activities where protection from rain and wind is needed while maintaining breathability.

How waterproof is Isotex 15000 fabric?

Isotex 15000 signifies a waterproof and breathable fabric with a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hr. This provides good protection against moderate to heavy rain and allows perspiration vapor to escape.

Can I wear a fleece or thicker layer underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. You can wear a fleece or other insulating mid-layer underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?

Machine wash at 40°C with liquid detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat. Reapply a DWR treatment after washing and drying to maintain water repellency.

What does the 'panelled' in the title refer to?

The 'panelled' design likely refers to the construction method where different fabric panels are cut and sewn together, potentially for improved fit, aesthetics, or to incorporate different material properties in specific areas, though in this case, the primary fabric is consistent.

Is the hood removable?

The product description states it has a 'grown-on technical wire peaked hood,' indicating that the hood is permanently attached to the jacket.

What is the benefit of the underarm vents?

The underarm vents are zipped openings that allow you to increase airflow when needed, helping to regulate your body temperature and prevent overheating during physical exertion.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer repelling water.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a re-waterproofing treatment (spray or wash-in) suitable for technical fabrics.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zip teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt residue. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Jacket feels less breathable than before.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Wash according to instructions and ensure no detergent residue remains. Consider using a technical fabric cleaner.

Hood is not staying in place.

Adjust the hood drawcords to achieve a secure fit. Ensure the wire peak is correctly positioned to help maintain shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for active use.
  • Stretch fabric allows for freedom of movement.
  • Thoughtful features like underarm vents and a wire-peaked hood enhance comfort.
  • Durable construction with taped seams for long-lasting protection.
  • Practical storage with multiple zipped pockets.

Cons

  • Breathability rating, while good, might be less effective during very high-intensity activities compared to more specialized gear.
  • The 'Cream' colour may show dirt more readily on muddy trails.
  • May be too warm for very mild weather due to its robust waterproof nature.
  • Fit can be a personal preference; recommend checking size chart.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Regatta Frina jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear. Ensure all zips are closed and adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem to your preferred fit before heading outdoors.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for women and is suitable for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, and trail running. It can be layered over base layers and mid-layers for added warmth in colder conditions.

Care: To maintain the jacket's performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with a similar colour. Use a liquid detergent, but do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results, air dry.
  4. Re-waterproofing: Periodically, after washing and drying, apply a water-repellent spray or wash-in product to the outer fabric to restore its durable water repellent finish.
