Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hoscar Waterproof Insulated Jacket is designed for adult men who require reliable protection during hiking and outdoor activities in unpredictable, cold weather. Its primary benefit is the combination of ISOTEX 20000 waterproof, breathable fabric and THERMOGUARD insulation, ensuring you stay dry and warm without overheating; however, its longer length may feel slightly restrictive during high-intensity scrambling or climbing activities.

FAQs

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood on the Hoscar is fixed to provide maximum weather protection and security.

Can I wash this jacket with standard laundry detergent?

It is not recommended. Use a dedicated technical detergent to avoid clogging the breathable pores of the fabric.

What does ISOTEX 20000 mean?

This indicates a high-performance hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure, keeping you dry in severe rain.

Is the jacket suitable for extreme winter conditions?

It is well-suited for cold, wet weather, though for extreme sub-zero alpine conditions, you may need additional heavy mid-layers.

Does the jacket come in different lengths?

The Hoscar design features a specific 'longer length' cut across all sizes to maximize warmth and coverage.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a waterproofing treatment spray and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate.

Condensation building up inside the jacket

Ensure you are layering appropriately with moisture-wicking base layers. Heavy cotton layers underneath can trap sweat inside the jacket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof rating with ISOTEX 20000
  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio via THERMOGUARD
  • Breathable material prevents interior moisture buildup
  • Adjustable features like cuffs and wire-peak hood provide a customized fit

Cons

  • Longer length might limit agility for certain alpine sports
  • Polyester material requires specific care to maintain water repellency
  • Available in limited aesthetic color options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Hoscar jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner recommended for waterproof breathable fabrics. Do not use biological detergents or fabric softeners as they can damage the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a tumble dryer, use a cool setting to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
  3. Re-proofing: If water stops beading on the surface of the jacket, apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore protection.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a hanger rather than folded tightly to prevent permanent creasing or damage to the waterproof membrane.
