Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hamara IV Hooded Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection against the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is offering waterproof and breathable wear through advanced Isotex 10000 fabric, ensuring comfort and dryness. A potential consideration is that while highly functional, its textured polyester fabric may have a specific aesthetic.

FAQs
What is Isotex 10000?
Isotex 10000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology used by Regatta, offering a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours.
How do I know if the jacket is truly waterproof?
The jacket features Isotex 10000 fabric, taped seams, and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, all of which contribute to its waterproof capabilities. Taped seams are crucial as they seal the stitching lines.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. For colder weather, it is recommended to layer it over warm clothing such as a fleece or insulated mid-layer.
What is the purpose of the wire peak on the hood?
The wire peak on the hood is designed to provide better shape, keep the hood away from your face, and improve visibility in heavy rain or wind.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not bleach or iron.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The description mentions multiple zip pockets for storage. While the jacket fabric is waterproof and seams are taped, the zippers themselves are typically water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. It's best to use them for items that can tolerate slight moisture.
What does 'grown on' mean for the hood?
'Grown on' means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket's neckline, rather than being detachable.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zippers with a damp cloth and gently rub with a wax-based product (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to improve glide.
Inner lining feels clammy or wet.
Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, which can impede breathability. Check that the garment has been washed and rinsed correctly, as detergent residue can affect performance. Consider if the activity level is exceeding the jacket's breathability capacity.
