Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Freesdale Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection against the elements. Its key benefit lies in its advanced Isotex fabric technology, offering superior waterproofing and breathability. A potential consideration is that while waterproof, prolonged heavy downpours might eventually test its limits, though it excels in typical wet weather conditions.

FAQs

What does 'Isotex' mean for the jacket's performance?

Isotex is Regatta's technology that ensures fabrics are waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It allows perspiration vapor to escape while preventing water from entering, keeping you dry and comfortable.

How waterproof is this jacket?

The jacket features Isotex fabric and taped seams, offering high levels of waterproofing suitable for most wet weather conditions. The specific rating indicates excellent performance, but prolonged immersion in heavy downpours might eventually exceed its capacity.

Can I wear this jacket in windy conditions?

Yes, the windproof nature of the Isotex fabric and the adjustable features like the hood, cuffs, and hem help to block out wind, providing protection against the elements.

How do I choose the right size?

Please refer to the size guide provided. For example, size XL corresponds to a chest measurement of 44 inches.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket. It features a toggle adjuster and a wired peak for customized protection.

What type of material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is primarily made from 70% Polyester and 30% Recycled Polyester in a Ripstop weave, offering durability and a good feel.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features three zipped pockets: one on the chest and two at the sides, providing secure storage for your essentials.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Follow the care instructions for re-proofing to restore water repellency.

Feeling damp inside the jacket despite no external rain

This could be due to insufficient breathability from high exertion or a clogged membrane. Ensure the jacket is clean and consider a lower-intensity activity or ensuring good ventilation via the main zip.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.
