FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter mountaineering?
It is excellent for cold, wet hiking and general outdoor activity, though for extreme alpine conditions, you may need additional mid-layers.
How should I clean the jacket?
Wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a technical gear cleaner or mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners.
Does the hood detach?
The technical VisionAlign hood is designed as an integrated feature for maximum protection and is not designed to be removed.
Is the jacket fully windproof?
Yes, the ISOTEX 15000 fabric combined with the insulated lining provides excellent protection against wind chill.
Can I use this for everyday casual wear?
While highly technical, its functional design and comfort make it a great choice for damp, cold daily commutes as well as hiking.
Troubleshooting
Water starts to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water beading.
Feeling damp inside during high-intensity activity
Ensure you are using the appropriate base layers. While the jacket is breathable, excessive sweat can overwhelm the membrane during strenuous uphill climbs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Allston jacket, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, you should wash the garment on a gentle cycle using a mild, non-biological detergent to preserve the waterproof membrane. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the ISOTEX fabric and reduce breathability. Tumble dry on a low heat setting if the care label permits, which can help reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
