Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket - Brown - Size: 14

Yes, it is designed with ISOTEX 15000 technology and features fully taped seams, providing a high level of waterproof protection against rain and wet conditions.

Absolutely. The ISOTEX 15000 fabric is not only waterproof but also highly breathable, allowing internal moisture vapor to escape, keeping you comfortable during active pursuits.

Yes, the jacket is made from a polyester stretch fabric and features articulated sleeves, ensuring excellent flexibility and unrestricted movement for activities like climbing and hiking.

The jacket features a 'grown-on technical hood' with integrated adjusters. You can pull the elasticized cords or use the toggles (Info needed: specific type of adjusters) to tighten or loosen the hood around your head and face for optimal protection and visibility.

While designed for all-weather protection, its primary function is as a waterproof and breathable shell. In warmer, wet conditions, it can be worn over a lightweight base layer. For colder weather, you would layer it over insulating mid-layers.

The jacket is equipped with multiple pockets (Info needed: specific pocket types like zipped hand pockets, chest pockets) for convenient and secure storage of your essentials.

It is recommended to machine wash the jacket cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof breathable fabrics and avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's performance.

This could indicate that the jacket's breathability is being overwhelmed, or the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is failing. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers that wick moisture. If the outer fabric is 'wetting out' (absorbing water), wash and re-proof the jacket to restore its DWR.

This usually means the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment needs to be reactivated or reapplied. First, clean the jacket thoroughly following the care instructions. If cleaning doesn't restore beading, apply a suitable DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for breathable waterproof fabrics.

Check for any trapped fabric or debris in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper with a small brush and warm water if necessary. A specialized zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) can be applied sparingly to improve smoothness. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
