Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Regatta Hanleigh jacket, proper care is essential. The exterior DWR finish will naturally wear off over time; it is recommended to wash the garment with specialized technical cleaners rather than standard biological detergents, which can strip away waterproof coatings. Always zip up the jacket and secure the hook-and-loop fasteners before placing it in the washing machine on a cool cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these clog the pores of the breathable membrane. If you notice water no longer beading on the surface, a tumble dry on a low heat setting or the application of a spray-on re-proofer can help reactivate or renew the water-repellent performance.
