Regatta Freesdale Jacket - Blue - L

The Isotex 30000 fabric has a breathability rating of 30,000 g/m²/24 hours, meaning it allows a significant amount of moisture vapor to escape.

The jacket itself is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating garments like fleece or down jackets underneath.

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

The frequency depends on usage and how often it's washed. It's generally recommended to re-proof when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

This describes a hood that is permanently attached to the jacket ('grown-on') and features a stiffened brim or 'peak' with an embedded wire, allowing you to shape it for better protection from rain and wind.

Yes, the Freesdale jacket is made with recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.

The drainage channel along the center front zip helps to direct water away from the opening, preventing it from running down inside the jacket.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting. If this does not restore performance, apply a commercial DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.

Ensure all seams are properly taped. If leakage persists, the DWR treatment might be depleted, or there could be damage to the seam tape. Re-apply DWR. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax if necessary.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Ensure any internal layers worn are also breathable and moisture-wicking.
