Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Astrel Quilted Jacket is designed for adult men who require a reliable, high-performance outer layer for wet and windy outdoor conditions. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of a 15,000 mm hydrostatic waterproof rating and premium synthetic down insulation, ensuring you stay dry and warm without unnecessary bulk. A notable caveat is that while the jacket features a sophisticated baffle design, the structured finish is best suited for active or casual outdoor use rather than heavy-duty mountaineering.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features a 15,000 mm hydrostatic head rating, making it highly waterproof for most outdoor conditions.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the jacket is designed with a removable elasticated hood for added versatility.
What type of insulation does it use?
It uses premium synthetic down, which is designed to keep you warm even if the padding becomes damp.
How breathable is the fabric?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, making it suitable for active outdoor wear.
Why are the baffles bonded instead of stitched?
Bonding the baffles creates a smoother finish and prevents water from leaking through traditional needle-stitched seams.
Troubleshooting
Water beading has stopped on the outer fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or re-applying using a spray-on waterproof treatment.
Moisture accumulation inside the jacket
While breathable, very high exertion levels may exceed the fabric's capacity. Consider unzipping slightly for extra ventilation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent balance of high-level waterproofing and breathability
- Bonded baffle construction prevents seam leakage
- Synthetic insulation provides reliable warmth in wet weather
- Elasticated finishes ensure a snug, wind-blocking fit
- Versatile design suitable for varied outdoor conditions
Cons
- Requires careful cleaning to maintain the bonded baffles
- Removable hood may feel less secure than a fixed design in extreme gales
- Polyester construction is best suited for layering rather than heavy abrasion environments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its performance characteristics, follow these guidelines:
- Hood Adjustment: Use the elasticated attachments to ensure the hood sits flush against the face to prevent wind intrusion.
- Layering: The Astrel is designed as a mid-to-outer layer. For extreme cold, wear a thermal base layer underneath to maximize heat retention.
- Cleaning: Always check the garment care label. Use a gentle synthetic wash cycle and avoid heavy detergents that can strip the water-repellent finish. Do not iron the bonded panels, as intense heat can damage the adhesive integrity.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the loft of the synthetic insulation.
