Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Regatta Professional Navigate Insulated Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply select your appropriate size for a comfortable fit, allowing for any layering you might intend to wear underneath.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed to be highly compatible with standard professional work attire. It can be worn effectively over base layers and mid-layers for enhanced thermal performance in colder conditions. Its sleek design also allows it to be layered under heavier outer shells if extreme conditions require it, though it functions excellently as a standalone outer layer.
Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the waterproof and insulating properties of your jacket.
- Preparation: Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (typically 30°C or cold water). Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof outerwear, or a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh stain removers as these can damage the waterproof coating and insulation.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, hang to air dry away from direct heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-applying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product suitable for waterproof fabrics.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area.
