Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Matt II Waterproof Shell Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active adults who require reliable weather protection during hikes, climbs, or daily commutes. Crafted from high-performance polyester stretch fabric with fully sealed seams, this jacket excels at keeping users dry while maintaining breathability; however, users should note that as a shell layer, it is designed for layering rather than providing significant thermal insulation on its own.

Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a technical waterproofing spray.
Condensation building up inside the jacket
Ensure you are using the correct base layers that wick moisture away from your skin, and use the ventilation options to manage heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains effective, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners as these can damage the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation.
- Re-proofing: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, use a recommended spray-on re-proofer after a thorough wash to restore performance.
- Compatibility: The lightweight shell design allows it to be easily packed into a backpack or worn over various base layers without feeling restrictive.
