FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain and showers, but it is not fully waterproof and may soak through in heavy downpours.
Does this jacket have an adjustable hem?
The Arec III features stretch binding at the cuffs and a flexible construction, but it does not include a drawcord hem.
Can I use this for winter sports?
It is excellent for aerobic activity in cool weather, but for sub-zero temperatures or heavy snow, you should pair it with additional insulating layers underneath.
How should I store this jacket?
Store on a hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the fabric and hood.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30 degrees using a non-biological detergent and avoid using any fabric conditioner.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The water-repellent finish (DWR) has worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment spray.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure the zipper track is free of dirt or debris. If needed, run a graphite pencil lead over the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Arec III Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material damage.
- Maintenance: To refresh the water-repellent performance after heavy use, apply a standard outdoor garment reproofing spray once the jacket is clean and dry.
- Compatibility: The jacket layers well over base layers or light fleeces, but may feel tight if worn over thick, chunky knit sweaters.
