Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Hoscar jacket, focus on proper cleaning and maintenance of the water-repellent finish.
- Cleaning: Use a gentle, technical fabric cleaner. Avoid standard heavy-duty detergents which can strip the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally. If the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish begins to lose effectiveness, you can reactivate it by tumble drying on a low heat setting, provided the garment label allows it.
- Storage: Always store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid packing it away while wet, as this can cause moisture to linger in the seams and potentially damage the taped seals over time.
- Layering: Due to the THERMOGUARD insulation, the jacket is best paired with a base layer that wicks moisture away from the skin, such as merino wool or synthetic technical fabrics.
