The Regatta Freesdale Waterproof Jacket in Yellow, XXL, is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection against the elements. Its key benefit is offering durable waterproofing and breathability, making it suitable for outdoor activities. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it's rated at 30000g/m²/24hrs for breathability, which might be a consideration for highly strenuous activities where maximum ventilation is critical. This jacket features a ripstop polyester fabric with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, taped seams, and a grown-on hood with a wired peak for enhanced weather resistance. It includes multiple zip pockets for secure storage.

The jacket utilizes Isotex 5000 technology, providing a good level of waterproofing suitable for most outdoor conditions.
The breathability rating is 30000g/m²/24hrs, indicating good moisture vapour transfer. This is suitable for general outdoor activities but may be a consideration for very strenuous, high-exertion sports where maximum breathability is required.
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C on a low heat setting. It is recommended to close all zips and fastenings and wash separately. Do not bleach or iron.
Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. If a tear does occur, the ripstop weave helps to contain it.
The hood features a toggle adjuster at the back and a wired peak. You can tighten or loosen the toggle to adjust the fit around your head, and the wire in the peak can be shaped to help keep rain away from your eyes.
The waterproof fabric (Isotex 5000) forms the main barrier against water penetration. The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is an external treatment that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to maintain the fabric's breathability and prevent it from becoming saturated.
This specific product description does not mention pit zips. Ventilation relies on the breathability of the Isotex fabric and the ability to open the front zip.
Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow to dry, then lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax.
This may indicate a manufacturing defect or excessive wear. Contact customer support for assistance. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying which can exacerbate this issue.
While the jacket is breathable, high-intensity activities can sometimes lead to moisture buildup. Ensure all vents are open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. The breathability rating is 30000g/m²/24hrs, which is good for general use but may have limitations during extreme exertion.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males. Check the size chart provided (XXL: 48 in chest measurement) to ensure the correct fit.
