FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter use?
While fully waterproof and breathable, the Hamara IV jacket is designed as an outer shell for protection against rain and wind. It does not provide significant insulation for extreme cold. For winter use, it's recommended to wear appropriate insulating layers underneath.
How do I maintain the waterproof qualities of my jacket?
To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket sparingly with a technical wash for waterproof garments, air dry it, and avoid fabric softeners. If water stops beading on the surface, consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket features zipped pockets for secure storage. While the main fabric is waterproof and the seams are taped, it's always best practice to store highly sensitive electronics or documents in a waterproof dry bag inside the pockets for maximum protection during heavy downpours.
What does 'ISOTEX 10000' mean?
ISOTEX 10000 is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' refers to a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, indicating that the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water before it starts to penetrate, providing reliable waterproof performance. It also indicates a high level of breathability.
Can I tumble dry this jacket?
No, it is not recommended to tumble dry this jacket. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane and the taped seams. Always air dry your jacket to preserve its performance and lifespan.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket features a grown-on technical wire peaked hood with adjusters, allowing you to tighten or loosen it for a secure fit that effectively shields your face from the elements.
Is this jacket environmentally friendly?
Yes, the jacket is made from ISOTEX 10000 textured recycled 100% polyester fabric, making it a sustainable choice for your outdoor gear.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric surface, and the jacket feels 'wetting out'.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket with a technical wash designed for waterproof clothing, then consider applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to the product instructions.
Jacket feels damp inside, despite being waterproof.
This could be due to condensation if the jacket's breathability is overwhelmed, or if the DWR is failing. Ensure you are not overheating by adjusting layers. If the DWR is failing, re-proof the jacket. Also, check that pockets are fully zipped to prevent water ingress.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap and water. Once dry, apply a zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a silicone-based spray) to the teeth to improve smoothness.
Hood adjusters or shockcords are not holding tension.
Inspect the cord locks for any debris or damage. Clean them thoroughly. If they are worn, they may need replacing, though this is rare. Ensure the cords are correctly threaded through the locks.

The Regatta Hamara IV Waterproof Jacket requires no complex setup; simply put it on and adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem for your desired fit and protection. It is compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, walking, camping, and general everyday use in wet weather. To ensure the longevity and performance of your jacket, follow these care instructions: - Washing: Machine wash cold with a technical wash specific for waterproof garments to preserve the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish and breathability. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. - Drying: Air dry only. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and taped seams. - Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-applying a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency. - Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
