FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Regatta Daysha Waterproof Jacket is primarily designed for waterproof protection, not insulation. For very cold weather, we recommend layering it over insulating garments like a fleece or thermal top to provide adequate warmth.

How do I maintain the jacket's waterproof performance?

To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket infrequently using a technical wash designed for outdoor gear (avoid fabric softeners), and air dry. If water stops beading on the surface, reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically made for waterproof fabrics.

Does this jacket have pockets?

The product description focuses on the jacket's core waterproof features and hood. While many jackets include pockets, specific details on pocket configuration (e.g., number, closure type) are not provided. Please refer to product images or contact customer support for specific pocket information.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than hiking?

Absolutely! Its versatile waterproof design makes it suitable for a wide range of activities including daily commuting, dog walking, camping, cycling, or simply as reliable protection during rainy errands.

What material is the jacket made from?

The Regatta Daysha Waterproof Jacket is made from 100% Polyester, a durable and quick-drying fabric ideal for outdoor wear.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before storing it. Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, ideally hanging to maintain its shape and prevent odors.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't seem fully waterproof anymore.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can block the DWR finish. If clean, the DWR may need to be reapplied. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and then apply a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof fabrics.

Water appears to be seeping through the seams.

Check the taped seams inside the jacket for any peeling or damage. If the taping is compromised, the jacket's waterproofing is significantly reduced. Unfortunately, repairing taped seams can be complex and may require professional intervention or replacement if still under warranty.

Jacket feels stiff or loses its flexibility after washing.

This can happen if fabric softener was used, which can clog the fabric pores. Rewash the jacket using a technical cleaner specifically designed for outdoor gear, without any fabric softener. Air dry thoroughly.

Unpleasant odor develops in the jacket.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. If an odor persists, wash the jacket as per care instructions with a technical cleaner. Consider airing it out thoroughly in a well-ventilated area before storing.

Care Instructions

Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and extend its lifespan. The jacket is made from 100% Polyester.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the waterproof finish.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Excessive heat can damage the waterproof coating.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron.
  4. Bleaching & Dry Cleaning: Do not bleach or dry clean.
  5. Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider using a wash-in or spray-on re-proofing product designed for waterproof garments, following the product's specific instructions.

> Info needed: Always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for the most accurate instructions.
