Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket is designed for active adults who need a reliable, high-performance outer layer for hiking, trekking, and daily outdoor use. Featuring advanced Isotex 15000 technology, it offers superior protection against heavy rain and wind while maintaining essential breathability; however, it lacks an insulated lining, meaning you will need to layer underneath during cold winter conditions.

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the Isotex 15000 fabric is fully windproof, preventing cold air from penetrating the outer layer.

Can I wear this in deep winter?

The jacket is a shell and does not contain insulation. You can wear it in winter provided you wear sufficient insulating mid-layers underneath.

Does it have a packable design?

While it does not pack into its own pocket, the material is lightweight and foldable, making it easy to store in a rucksack.

How do I adjust the hood?

Use the built-in toggles located on the hood to tighten or loosen the perimeter for a secure fit against the wind.

Is the material noisy?

It uses a soft-touch polyester, which is quieter than traditional stiff, plastic-like waterproof jackets.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric surface

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.

Condensation building up inside the jacket

Ensure you are using breathable base layers. Avoid wearing cotton, which absorbs sweat and prevents the jacket from effectively venting moisture.

Zips becoming stiff or catching

Clear any debris or grit from the zipper teeth and ensure the inner storm flap is lying flat before closing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional waterproof rating of 15,000mm
  • Highly breathable material prevents overheating during activity
  • Tailored feminine fit looks stylish yet remains functional
  • Ample secure pocket space for essentials
  • Lightweight construction perfect for year-round layering

Cons

  • Requires layering during cold weather due to no internal insulation
  • Brown colorway may show dirt more easily than darker alternatives
  • Tailored fit might feel restrictive if worn over very thick bulky layers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical detergent rather than standard biological soap.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the fabric coatings.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray once water stops beading on the surface to restore the jacket's performance.
  4. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to preserve the shape of the shoulders and hood.
