Regatta Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket - Navy Blue

The Regatta Stormbreak is a lightweight shell jacket, designed primarily for waterproof protection. It does not offer insulation for extreme cold. For warmth, it's recommended to wear insulating layers underneath.

While durable and waterproof, this jacket is best suited for general outdoor activities and light to moderate hikes. For highly strenuous activities like mountain climbing, you might prefer a technical jacket with advanced breathability and durability features designed for extreme conditions.

Proper care is key. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions (cold wash, no fabric softener, hang dry) and periodically re-apply a DWR treatment if water stops beading on the surface. Avoid harsh detergents and tumble drying.

The description specifies a 'hooded neckline.' While it provides coverage, it does not explicitly state adjustability features like drawcords or toggles. Info needed: [Verify hood adjustability]

The product description mentions 'two hand pockets' on the exterior. It does not specify any internal pockets.

Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric. It's designed to provide reliable weather protection, keeping you dry and comfortable in wet and windy conditions.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be wearing off. First, ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can impair DWR. If cleaning doesn't help, consider applying a re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth to improve movement.

While primarily waterproof, the sealed seams contribute to wind resistance. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the elasticated cuffs are properly positioned. If the issue persists, check for any tears or damage to the fabric.
