Regatta Professional Waterproof Jacket - Blue - L

Hydrafort is a water-repellent and wind-resistant fabric technology used by Regatta to protect against the elements while remaining breathable.

Yes, the fleece lining provides good insulation. For extremely cold conditions, layering with additional thermal garments underneath is recommended.

Machine wash at 40°C with liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners and powder detergents.

The hood is described as concealed, suggesting it can be stored away but is not typically detachable.

Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, keeping it looking smoother for longer.

Taped seams are seams that have been sealed with a special tape to prevent water from penetrating through the stitch holes, ensuring full waterproofing.

The jacket fastens with a full zip, hook and loop fasteners, and a stormflap for added protection.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment (wash-in or spray) according to the product instructions.

Check that the outer fabric is completely dry before wearing. Ensure the jacket is fully dried after washing, ideally on a low heat tumble dry or hung away from direct heat.

Clean the zip teeth gently with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip teeth to improve its movement.

This indicates a potential failure of the seam taping. While difficult to repair at home, contact Regatta customer service for potential warranty claims or repair advice.
