FAQs

Is the Regatta Hamara IV Jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, the jacket features ISOTEX 10000 technology with a durable water-repellent finish and taped seams, providing complete waterproof protection against rain and wind.

How breathable is this jacket?

It has a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours, meaning it allows a significant amount of moisture vapor to escape, keeping you comfortable during active use.

Does this jacket provide warmth?

The Hamara IV is a shell jacket designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It is not insulated. For warmth, you should wear appropriate base and mid-layers underneath.

What is Isotex 10000 technology?

Isotex 10000 is Regatta's advanced membrane technology that makes fabrics waterproof, breathable, and windproof, offering high levels of protection and comfort in challenging weather.

How do I clean my Regatta Hamara IV Jacket?

Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Can I reapply the DWR finish?

Yes, over time, the DWR finish may diminish. You can restore it using a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofing product specifically made for technical outerwear.

What kind of pockets does it have?

The jacket features an inner zipped security pocket for valuables and two zipped lower pockets for convenient storage of essentials like keys or a phone.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels wet inside or 'wets out' on the outside

This often indicates that the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish has worn off. Wash the jacket using a DWR-safe technical cleaner and then reapply a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics.

Feeling clammy or sweaty inside the jacket despite its breathability rating

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from your skin. Heavy cotton layers can trap moisture, negating the jacket's breathability. Also, check if all vents (if applicable) are open and consider reducing your activity intensity or layering.

Hood does not stay in place or offers inadequate protection

Utilize all available adjusters on the hood, including the shockcords and potentially the wire peak, to create a snug and personalized fit around your head and face. Experiment with adjustments to find the optimal balance between protection and visibility.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Regatta Hamara IV jacket, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specific for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid using biological detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can degrade the DWR finish and membrane.
  • Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
  • DWR Reapplication: Over time, the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off, causing the fabric to 'wet out' (absorb water rather than repel it). To restore water repellency, use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear.
  • Storage: Store the jacket in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
  • Zippers: Keep zippers clean and free of dirt. If they become stiff, a zipper lubricant can help.
