FAQs
Is the Regatta Bayletta II Jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, the jacket features Isotex 10000/15000 fabric with taped seams and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, making it fully waterproof and highly effective against rain.
How should I clean my Bayletta II Jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry completely. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions.
Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?
The Bayletta II is a shell jacket and provides excellent wind and rain protection, but limited insulation. For cold winter weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over a warm fleece or insulated mid-layer.
Does the jacket have any internal pockets?
Yes, the jacket includes an internal security pocket, perfect for safely storing small valuables like keys, a phone, or a wallet.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket features a grown-on hood with drawcords, allowing you to adjust it for a snug, protective fit.
What does 'Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish' mean?
DWR is a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface. This prevents the fabric from absorbing water and helps maintain the jacket's breathability and waterproof performance.
Does this jacket contain recycled materials?
Yes, the Regatta Bayletta II Jacket is made with recycled content, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the surface; fabric looks 'wet out'.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a DWR re-proofing product designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Tumble drying on low heat can often reactivate existing DWR.
Feeling clammy or damp inside the jacket, even without external rain.
This could be due to a build-up of perspiration if the fabric's breathability is compromised. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can block the pores of the membrane. Also, consider the type of layers worn underneath; non-breathable layers can trap moisture.
Snaps on lower pockets are not holding securely.
Check if there is any fabric or debris obstructing the snap mechanism. Ensure the snap is aligned correctly and pressed firmly until it clicks into place. If the snap is damaged, professional repair may be needed.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Requires proper care to maintain DWR finish and breathability over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your Regatta Bayletta II Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Before your first use, it's a good idea to check all adjustable features like the hood drawcords, cuff fastenings, and hem drawcord to ensure they function smoothly and are adjusted to your comfort.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed as an outer shell, making it highly compatible with various layering systems:
- Base Layers: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath for optimal comfort during physical activity.
- Mid-Layers: For added warmth in cooler conditions, pair it with a fleece or insulated mid-layer. The jacket's relaxed fit allows for comfortable layering without feeling restrictive.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Bayletta II jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions, but general guidelines include:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or air dry completely. Tumble drying on low heat can help reactivate the DWR finish. If air drying, ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
- DWR Reapplication: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off, causing the fabric to 'wet out' (absorb water instead of beading it). You can restore the DWR by using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place, ideally hanging to maintain its shape and breathability.
