Regatta Starler Padded Jacket - 8 UK - Warm Taupe

Atomlight is an advanced synthetic insulation material used by Regatta, designed to provide high warmth-to-weight ratio, meaning it's warm without being heavy or bulky.

The jacket is designed for moderate conditions. Its warmth level is suitable for temperatures above freezing, especially when layered. For very cold weather, consider adding a thicker mid-layer or a heavier outer shell.

The jacket has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which is effective against light showers and brief rain. For prolonged or heavy rain, a waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

You can reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting after washing, or by applying a specific DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Quilted means the fabric and insulation are stitched together in a pattern, typically diamond or lines. This prevents the insulation from shifting and helps to keep it evenly distributed for consistent warmth.

The '8 UK' refers to the standard UK women's sizing. The jacket's description notes this corresponds to a 32-inch chest measurement.

Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to wear the jacket without it if preferred.

Ensure the jacket is fully dry and that the filling has been re-lofted by tumble drying on a low heat with tennis balls.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions.

Ensure the jacket fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try again. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or wax if needed.

Check the drawcord channels for any debris. Gently flex the adjustment toggles.
