Full details
This Regatta Waterproof Jacket is designed for adults seeking reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is excellent waterproofing and comfort due to the Hydrafort fabric and DWR finish. A potential consideration is the distinct all-over polka dot print featuring Peppa Pig characters, which may not suit all style preferences. Key features include sealed seams, a full zip fastening, a hooded neckline, elasticated hem, and two lower pockets, all constructed from 100% Polyester.

FAQs
What makes this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is constructed with Hydrafort fabric, a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, and sealed/taped seams, all of which work together to prevent water from penetrating the material.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing. For very cold weather, layering with warm base and mid-layers underneath is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting. Always close zippers before washing.
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable at 30°C. Refer to the care label for full instructions.
What does DWR finish mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep the fabric dry.
What are the sizes available?
This specific product listing is for size XXXXL. Please check other listings for different sizes, such as S, XXXL, XXXXL, XS, L, M.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Yes, the jacket features a hooded neckline for added protection.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and sealed. The DWR finish may need refreshing over time; consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a wax-based product if necessary.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur during high activity. Ensure the full zip is open for ventilation. While the lining aids breathability, 100% polyester may not be as breathable as highly technical fabrics during intense exertion.
