Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Astrel Padded Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, insulated layer for wet and windy outdoor conditions. This jacket offers the core benefit of superior weather protection through its 15,000mm hydrostatic head rating and heat-sealed construction, providing warmth without the bulk of traditional stitching. While it offers excellent thermal performance and windproofing, users should note that the specialized bonded baffle design requires careful laundering to maintain the integrity of the heat-sealed panels.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, with a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm, it is highly waterproof and suitable for heavy rain.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use biological detergents or fabric softeners.

Does it have a hood?

The product description focuses on the jacket body; please check the specific collar and hood configuration on your model, as it is designed for full weather protection.

Will the insulation clump up after washing?

The synthetic insulation is designed to resist clumping. Shaking the jacket after drying helps restore loft.

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the fabric and the heat-sealed construction are specifically designed to block wind.

What is the benefit of heat-sealed baffles over stitching?

Heat-sealed baffles eliminate needle holes, which prevents water from leaking in and keeps the wind from penetrating the jacket.

Troubleshooting

Water beading on the surface stops happening

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may be worn off. Apply a fabric-safe technical wash-in re-proofer to restore water beading.

Visible debris between bonded layers

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clear the seams; do not pick at the heat-sealed bonds.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance 15,000mm waterproof rating
  • Heat-sealed baffles prevent cold spots and moisture ingress
  • Lightweight synthetic insulation retains heat when damp
  • Windproof construction offers excellent protection in stormy weather
  • Structured, clean finish due to seamless bonding

Cons

  • Requires specific care to maintain heat-sealed seams
  • Not intended for extreme high-intensity mountaineering
  • Limited to synthetic insulation rather than natural down options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Astrel jacket, follow these guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the DWR coating.
  • Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting to prevent damage to the bonded heat-sealed baffles.
  • Layering: The jacket is designed with a standard fit; it is best paired with a base layer or a light fleece for optimal temperature regulation.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the exterior for debris and wipe clean with a damp cloth to maintain the waterproof efficiency.
