Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Birchdale II is a high-performance, fully waterproof, and breathable jacket designed for adult male hikers who demand protection in challenging weather. Featuring advanced Isotex stretch 15000 fabric, this jacket offers superior mobility and complete rain resistance, making it an excellent choice for mountain trekking; however, users should note that as a dedicated waterproof layer, it is best utilized within a layered clothing system rather than as a standalone thermal garment.

FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Birchdale II is a shell jacket designed for waterproof protection and breathability. It does not contain thermal insulation, so it is best worn over layers.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent and ensure all zips are closed.
What does '15000' refer to in the fabric name?
It refers to the hydrostatic head rating, meaning the fabric can withstand a water column of 15,000mm before moisture penetrates, indicating high waterproof capabilities.
Does the hood detach?
The technical hood is designed for fixed, high-performance protection in wind and rain, so it is not intended to be detached.
How do I choose the right size?
Consult the brand size guide provided. Since this is an outer shell, choose a size that comfortably fits over your intended mid-layers.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer spray.
Condensation building up inside the jacket during use
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers and adjust the ventilation by unzipping slightly if the intensity of your activity is too high.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-grade waterproof rating (15000mm) for reliable protection
- Stretch fabric allows for natural, unhindered movement
- Sealed seams ensure maximum weatherproofing
- Lightweight construction suitable for long-distance treks
- Secure internal storage for essential items
Cons
- Primary focus is weather protection rather than extreme insulation
- Requires proper maintenance to keep the water-repellent finish effective
- Larger sizes may require careful checking against size guides for accurate layering room
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket continues to perform at its peak, proper care is essential. Always fasten the zippers and use the internal adjustment cords to secure a custom fit before heading out. When cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent; avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Periodically re-apply a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment to maintain the factory water-repellent finish, especially after heavy use. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a hanger rather than folded to maintain the integrity of the taped seams.
