Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adult males seeking reliable rain protection for outdoor activities. The Regatta Lyle IV Waterproof Hooded Jacket offers excellent waterproofing and breathability, with the added benefit of converting into a belt bag for ultimate portability. A potential caveat is that while the DWR finish enhances water repellency, it requires maintenance to remain effective. Key features include its Isolite Polyamide fabric, taped seams, adjustable hood, and reflective trim for visibility.

FAQs

How do I convert the jacket into a belt bag?

To pack the jacket into its pouch, turn the jacket inside out, push the body of the jacket into one of the lower pockets, and then zip it closed. The packed jacket can then be worn around the waist.

What is the waterproof rating?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000mm.

What is the breathability rating?

The breathability rating is 5000g/m²/24hrs.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

Yes, but it is designed as a waterproof outer layer. For cold weather, layer an insulating item like a fleece or down jacket underneath.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is concealed and adjustable, but it is not detachable.

What do the taped seams do?

Taped seams prevent water from penetrating through the stitching, ensuring the jacket remains waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions after washing and tumble drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or wax.

Hood is not staying secure.

Tighten the toggle adjuster on the hood to secure it in place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with a 5000mm rating.
  • Good breathability at 5000g/m²/24hrs.
  • Highly packable design for convenience.
  • Enhanced safety with reflective trim.
  • Comfortable lining for extended wear.

Cons

  • DWR finish requires reapplication for optimal performance.
  • Mesh lining might feel cool in very cold weather without layers.
  • Belt bag conversion might be bulky for some preferences.
  • Limited pocketing (two lower zip pockets).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no complex setup. Ensure the full zip is engaged and all toggles are adjusted for a snug fit. It is compatible with most outdoor clothing layers. Care instructions are vital for maintaining its waterproof properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20 minutes. This helps to reactivate the DWR finish.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically reapply a DWR treatment (e.g., Granger's, Nikwax) following the product's instructions, especially if water no longer beads on the fabric surface. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
