Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hoscar Waterproof Insulated Jacket is an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable protection during cold, wet-weather excursions. Utilizing ISOTEX 20000 stretch fabric and THERMOGUARD insulation, it delivers high-performance weatherproofing and warmth while maintaining breathability. While the extended length offers superior coverage, users should note that the added material may feel slightly more restrictive during high-intensity climbing compared to shorter performance shells.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of the Hoscar jacket?

The jacket utilizes ISOTEX 20000 technology, which is rated for high-level protection against heavy rain and severe weather conditions.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design to ensure maximum seal against wind and rain.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, it can be machine washed, but it is recommended to use a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor gear and to avoid fabric conditioners.

Is the jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The THERMOGUARD insulation provides substantial warmth for typical winter conditions. In extreme sub-zero temperatures, you may want to layer with additional base or mid-layers.

What does the 'wire peak' on the hood do?

The wire peak allows you to shape the hood opening, keeping it stable against wind and preventing rain from dripping onto your face or glasses.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zipped to secure contents, but they are not fully submersible; it is always best to keep delicate electronics in the internal zipped pocket.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR waterproofing spray, then tumble dry on low heat if the care label allows.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

Check if your activity level is exceeding the jacket's breathability limits, or ensure that all zippers and cuffs are securely fastened to prevent moisture from entering.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof rating (ISOTEX 20000)
  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio via THERMOGUARD
  • Extended length provides extra weather protection
  • High-visibility and wind-deflecting wire peak hood
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during movement

Cons

  • Extended length might limit mobility for extreme vertical climbing
  • Heavier feel compared to lightweight rain shells
  • Needs periodic DWR re-application to maintain water beading

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

  1. Cleaning: Wash the garment using a mild, technical-specific detergent or a soap-based wash. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane.
  2. DWR Maintenance: Periodically, you may notice water stops beading on the surface. Apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore the hydrophobic finish.
  3. Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a cool, ventilated area to prevent mildew buildup.
  4. Compatibility: The fit is designed for layering; the inner cut allows for a base layer and a light mid-layer fleece without feeling excessively tight.
