FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features a water-repellent finish which is ideal for light showers, but it is not fully seam-sealed for heavy or prolonged rain.
Can this be worn in deep winter?
It is designed as a transitional piece. In very cold conditions, we recommend layering a thermal base or a fleece underneath.
How should I clean my Ablaze jacket?
Machine wash at a low temperature with non-biological detergent and air dry; do not use fabric softeners.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes, the jacket is made from a warm-backed woven stretch fabric to provide comfort and range of motion.
Is the hood removable?
This specific model features a streamlined design without a hood.
What is the weight of the fabric?
The material is 265gsm, providing a balance of warmth and durability.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the jacket and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent treatment spray.
Feeling damp inside the jacket during heavy exertion
Ensure you are using breathable base layers and avoid wearing thick cotton underneath, as cotton traps moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a versatile mid-to-outer layer, the Regatta Ablaze jacket is compatible with varied base layers for different temperatures. To maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, wash the garment in cold or cool water using a non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable fabric. Always air dry the jacket to preserve the integrity of the polyester fibers and the water-repellent coating. If the jacket stops beading water over time, consider re-applying a professional DWR spray.
