Full details
The Regatta Hamara IV Waterproof Jacket is designed for women seeking reliable protection against wet and windy conditions. Its key benefit lies in its Isotex 10000 technology, offering excellent waterproofing and breathability. A potential caveat is that while highly water-resistant, it may not be suitable for extreme, prolonged downpours without additional layers. This jacket features a durable polyester construction, a technical hood, and secure storage, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates the fabric's performance rating. It means the material is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm and breathable to 10,000g/m²/24hrs.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides wind and waterproof protection, but its insulation is minimal. For very cold weather, it's best used as an outer shell layered over warm mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Avoid bleach and ironing. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Can I wear this for high-intensity sports?
The jacket offers good breathability (10000g/m²/24hrs), making it suitable for moderate activities. For very high-intensity sports where extreme sweat is produced, you might experience some internal moisture build-up.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale or through the brand's official website. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific warranty details.
How do I adjust the hem and hood?
The hem can be tightened using the shockcord adjuster. The grown-on hood has a toggle adjuster and a wired peak that can be shaped for better visibility and protection.
What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant?
Waterproof means the material can withstand a certain level of water pressure (measured in mm). Water-resistant means it can repel water to a degree but may eventually soak through under prolonged exposure or pressure.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. Check if the DWR finish needs re-application. For prolonged heavy rain, consider if additional waterproof layers are needed.
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. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
Hood adjustment toggles are loose.
Ensure the cord is properly threaded through the toggle. If the toggle itself is damaged, it may need replacement.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur if the breathability is exceeded during intense activity or if the internal membrane is blocked. Ensure the jacket is clean and consider wearing lighter layers underneath. Check for proper ventilation via the main zip.
