Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Birchdale II is a high-performance waterproof jacket engineered for outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable protection against the elements during hiking, trekking, or commuting. Featuring advanced Isotex 15000 technology, it offers superior waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance, ensuring comfort in wet and unpredictable weather. While the jacket provides excellent durability and weather resistance, users should note that the technical, tailored fit is designed for layering rather than loose, oversized wear, which may require careful sizing selection.

FAQs

What does the 15000mm rating mean?

It means the fabric can withstand a water column of 15,000mm, indicating high-level protection against heavy rain.

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, but use a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical detergent designed for outdoor gear.

Can I wear this in the snow?

Yes, the waterproof and windproof capabilities make it suitable for snowy conditions, provided you wear appropriate thermal layers underneath.

Does the hood detach?

No, the Birchdale II features a grown-on (fixed) technical hood for maximum weather protection.

Where should I store my phone?

The jacket includes a dedicated security pocket with a water-repellent zip, which is the safest place for moisture-sensitive items.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the surface of the fabric.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray or wash-in treatment.

Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating.

This is often caused by excessive sweating trapped inside. Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers to help the fabric's breathability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High waterproof and windproof rating for extreme conditions
  • Highly breathable fabric prevents overheating during activity
  • Multiple secure storage pockets with water-repellent zips
  • Ergonomic fit allows for excellent freedom of movement
  • Fully taped seams enhance long-term durability

Cons

  • Tailored fit may feel restrictive if over-layering with very bulky garments
  • Requires regular DWR re-application to maintain peak water-repellency
  • Hand wash or specialized gear wash recommended for optimal maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the jacket maintains its high performance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: Because the Birchdale II features a tailored fit, we recommend trying it on with the layers you intend to wear underneath, such as a fleece or a thin mid-layer, to ensure proper range of motion.
  2. Adjustment: Upon putting on the jacket, use the toggle adjusters on the hood and the shockcord at the hem to create a custom fit that seals out drafts.
  3. Cleaning: Wash the garment using a mild, technical-friendly detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish and clog the breathable pores of the fabric.
  4. DWR Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR spray once water stops beading on the surface of the fabric to maintain the jacket's waterproof effectiveness.
