Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Astrel Padded Jacket is designed for adult men who need reliable protection against wet and windy outdoor conditions without sacrificing comfort. Featuring premium synthetic down insulation and a 15,000 mm hydrostatic head, it offers exceptional warmth and weather resistance for hiking or daily winter commuting. While its heat-sealed baffle construction provides a sleek, modern aesthetic, users should note that the specialized bonding requires careful handling compared to traditional stitched outerwear.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, preferably with a technical gear cleaner.

Can the hood be removed?

Yes, the jacket features a removable elasticated hood for added versatility.

Does it use real down?

No, it uses high-performance synthetic down insulation which retains heat even when damp.

What does 15,000 mm hydrostatic head mean?

It indicates the fabric's ability to resist water pressure, meaning it can withstand heavy, prolonged rain.

Is the jacket breathable?

While highly protective against wind and rain, it is designed with moisture-management in mind, though high-intensity exertion may require zipping down the front.

Troubleshooting

Water begins soaking into the fabric surface

The DWR finish has likely worn off; reapply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore water repellency.

Loose threads appearing at the seams

Trim carefully with scissors rather than pulling, as pulling can damage the bonded heat-sealed layers.

Hood keeps falling off

Ensure the attachment points are fully snapped or zipped into the collar track and that the elastic toggle is tightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weatherproofing with 15,000 mm hydrostatic head
  • Synthetic insulation remains warm even when wet
  • Smooth, stitch-free baffle design reduces cold air ingress
  • Elasticated cuffs and hem effectively seal in warmth
  • Removable hood offers versatile styling and protection

Cons

  • Bonded baffle construction may be less repairable than stitched seams
  • Limited to synthetic materials which may feel different from natural down
  • Design is specifically optimized for wet/windy conditions rather than extreme sub-zero arctic temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the heat-sealed baffles, avoid subjecting the jacket to high-heat sources or harsh abrasive cleaners. It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear to preserve the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Ensure the hood is removed before washing if the drum capacity is limited. When drying, tumble dry on a low setting or air dry away from direct sunlight. The jacket is designed to fit true to size, but consider sizing up if you intend to wear heavy base layers underneath.
