FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, with its ISOTEX 10000 waterproof fabric, Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, and taped seams, the Regatta Hamara IV jacket is designed to provide reliable protection even in heavy rainfall.
Does this jacket have any insulation for warmth?
No, the Regatta Hamara IV is a lightweight waterproof shell jacket. It does not contain built-in insulation. For warmth in colder conditions, it is designed to be worn over appropriate base and mid-layers.
How do I maintain the waterproof qualities of the jacket?
Wash the jacket only when necessary, using a technical cleaner specifically for waterproof outerwear. Avoid standard detergents and fabric softeners. After washing, you can reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat setting (if recommended on the care label) or by applying a DWR re-proofing spray.
What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideally suited for a range of outdoor activities in wet or changeable weather, including hiking, walking, dog walking, and general everyday use where waterproof and breathable protection is essential.
How do the hood and hem adjusters work?
The hood features shockcords and a wire peak that can be adjusted to cinch the hood around your face, providing a secure fit and excellent peripheral vision. The hem has a shockcord that can be tightened to seal out drafts and customize the fit around your waist.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket itself is waterproof, and the zipped pockets provide a good level of protection against rain. However, for highly sensitive electronics or items that must stay absolutely dry, it's always recommended to use an additional dry bag or waterproof pouch inside the pockets, especially in prolonged heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be seeping through the fabric.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or re-applying. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR, or apply a DWR re-proofing spray.
Feeling clammy or sweaty inside the jacket.
Check your layering. The jacket's breathability is 10,000g/m²/24 hours, but if your activity level generates more moisture than this can dissipate, or if you're wearing non-breathable layers underneath, you may feel damp. Adjust your base and mid-layers to be more breathable.
Hood doesn't stay in place or provide enough coverage.
Utilize the adjusters on the technical wire peaked hood. Tighten the shockcords around your face and adjust the wire peak to customize the fit and ensure it stays secure and offers optimal protection from wind and rain.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant sparingly to improve smoothness. Avoid forcing stiff zippers to prevent damage.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproofing and breathability performance. Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions.
- Washing: Typically, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid standard detergents and fabric softeners, as these can degrade the DWR finish and compromise breathability.
- Drying: Hang to air dry, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting if the care label permits. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Reactivating DWR: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off, causing the fabric to 'wet out'. You can reactivate it by tumble drying on low heat (if permitted) or by applying a specialized DWR re-proof spray or wash-in product.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally hung up to maintain its shape.
