Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Altoro Thermal Padded Jacket is designed for active adults who need a reliable, high-performance outer layer for cold and unpredictable weather. Featuring premium recycled synthetic insulation and advanced breathable fabric, it offers excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and comfort during intense outdoor activities. Note that while it provides significant water repellency, it is primarily an insulated technical jacket rather than a heavy-duty waterproof shell, so it is best suited for layering in varied conditions.

FAQs
Is the Altoro jacket truly waterproof?
It features a water-repellent finish, meaning it is resistant to light rain and snow, but it is not classified as a fully waterproof hardshell for heavy rain.
What is the benefit of the wire-peaked hood?
The wire allows you to shape the peak of the hood so that it maintains its shape in wind, shielding your eyes from rain or snow without obstructing your peripheral vision.
Can I use this for high-intensity skiing?
Yes, the 15,000 g/m²/24h breathability rating makes it well-suited for active winter sports where moisture management is a priority.
How should I clean the jacket without damaging the insulation?
Use a cool, gentle cycle with non-biological detergent and avoid fabric conditioners. Always follow the specific care label attached to the garment.
Does it contain feathers?
No, the Altoro uses 100% recycled synthetic down as a cruelty-free alternative to traditional down feathers.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket is designed to allow for layering underneath. If you prefer a tighter fit, you may want to consult the size guide, but most users find it fits standard sizing.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash and re-apply a DWR waterproofing treatment.
Insulation feels clumpy or flat
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls to fluff up the synthetic fibers.
Zippers feel stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, lightly lubricate the teeth with a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, adhere to the following guidelines:
- Care: Machine wash the jacket on a cool cycle using a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a tennis ball to help redistribute the synthetic insulation and maintain loft.
- Re-proofing: If the water-repellent finish begins to fail, apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after cleaning.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing it compressed in a small bag for long periods to preserve the structure of the synthetic filling.
