Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Venturer maintains its protective properties, proper care is essential. When the outer fabric begins to lose its water-beading capability, wash the garment according to the label instructions, ideally using a technical fabric cleaner. Avoid using standard biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the microscopic pores in the XPT membrane, significantly reducing breathability.
Compatibility-wise, this jacket is designed to be worn over light base layers or mid-weight fleeces. If you are heading into extreme cold, it pairs well under a heavier shell or over a thermal long-sleeve top. After washing, hanging the jacket to air dry is recommended to maintain the integrity of the zippers and the adjustable cord elastic in the hood.
