FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, the Regatta Hamara IV jacket features ISOTEX technology and fully taped seams, ensuring complete waterproof protection against rain and wet conditions.
What does `ISOTEX` technology mean?
`ISOTEX` is Regatta's proprietary fabric technology that provides a waterproof, breathable, and windproof barrier, keeping you dry and comfortable outdoors.
Does this jacket provide warmth?
The Hamara IV is primarily a waterproof shell designed for protection from rain and wind. It does not provide significant insulation on its own. For warmth, it is best worn over appropriate thermal layers.
Are there pockets for storage?
Yes, the jacket includes an inner zipped security pocket for valuables and two zipped lower pockets for convenient access and hand warming.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) using a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid standard detergents and fabric softeners. Line dry away from direct heat.
What is 'recycled content' in the jacket?
This means a portion of the jacket's materials is made from recycled sources, such as plastic bottles or textile waste, contributing to a reduced environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside after use.
This could be due to condensation if worn over inadequate layers or if the DWR coating is compromised. Ensure your base and mid-layers are breathable. If the outer fabric is 'wetting out' (absorbing water), consider cleaning the jacket and reapplying a DWR treatment.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm water. Once dry, apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of beeswax to the teeth to improve smooth operation.
Hood doesn't stay in place during windy conditions.
Ensure all hood adjusters and the `shockcord` are properly tightened. The wire peak should be shaped to offer maximum stability and protection around your face.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Regatta Hamara IV Jacket is straightforward:
- Donning the Jacket: Simply put on the jacket over your base and mid-layers.
- Adjusting the Hood: Use the adjusters to tighten or loosen the hood for optimal coverage and visibility. The wire peak helps maintain its shape against wind.
- Securing the Hem: Pull the `shockcord` at the hem to cinch it in, preventing drafts and water from splashing up.
- Cuff Adjustment: The part elasticated cuffs offer a snug fit, and their curved design provides extra coverage over the back of your hand.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed as an outer shell, perfect for layering:
- Wear it over a light base layer for mild, rainy conditions.
- Combine with a fleece or insulated mid-layer for colder, wet weather, as the jacket itself provides weather protection but not significant warmth.
- Its relaxed fit accommodates various clothing combinations without restricting movement.
Care
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a technical outdoor garment cleaner (e.g., Nikwax Tech Wash or Grangers Performance Wash). Avoid standard detergents, as they can impair waterproofing.
- Drying: Line dry. Do not tumble dry, iron, or bleach. Avoid direct heat.
- Fabric Softener: Do NOT use fabric softener, as it can block the membrane and reduce breathability and water repellency.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. You can restore it using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing product designed for waterproof breathable fabrics.
