FAQs

What type of hiking is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is designed for high-level hikes, mountain trails, and challenging outdoor exploration where waterproof and breathable protection is essential.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for men's apparel. The jacket is designed for an active fit, allowing for layering, but should not be overly restrictive.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Yes, the jacket is designed as a waterproof shell. You can layer insulating mid-layers underneath to adapt to colder temperatures.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or after several washes, typically every 6-12 months of regular use, depending on conditions.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is integrated into the jacket design and is not removable. It features an adjustable wire peak for enhanced visibility.

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to the hydrostatic head rating of the fabric, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leaking. It also indicates a breathability rating.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, and tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof or breathable

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and then re-apply a DWR treatment according to product instructions.

Water seeping through seams

Ensure the taped seams are intact. If damage is visible, professional repair may be needed. Regular cleaning can help maintain seam integrity.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and gently lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a pencil lead.

Hood adjustment not holding

Check the drawcords and toggles for damage or wear. Ensure they are properly threaded and tightened.
