Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket is a high-performance outer layer designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable protection during challenging weather conditions. Utilizing advanced Isotex stretch fabric, the jacket balances complete waterproofing with breathability, ensuring comfort during high-exertion activities. While it offers excellent technical features for mountain trails and wet-weather treks, users should note that as a dedicated waterproof layer, it is optimized for climate protection rather than extreme insulation in sub-zero temperatures.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is a technical, fixed design intended to provide optimal protection and fit during wet conditions.

Can I use this for skiing?

The jacket provides waterproof protection, but it is designed primarily for hiking and does not feature specific ski-ready additions like a powder skirt or lift-pass pocket.

How should I store the jacket?

Store it on a hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the taped seams and fabric.

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed, but always check the internal care label for specific temperature and cycle recommendations.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

Yes, it is engineered with Isotex stretch fabric to facilitate unrestricted movement during active outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical garment cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer.

Condensation building up inside the jacket

While breathable, the jacket cannot release moisture as fast as extreme exertion creates it. Try wearing more breathable base layers or venting the jacket via the zip when active.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of waterproof protection for wet environments
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during strenuous activity
  • Stretch fabric allows for superior freedom of movement
  • Secure storage with internal and external pockets
  • Adjustable hood and cuffs provide a tailored, protective fit

Cons

  • Primarily a shell layer, requiring mid-layers for cold insulation
  • Requires proper care to maintain the waterproof coating over time
  • Not intended for heavy-duty industrial or extreme alpine mountaineering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, keep the following guidelines in mind:

  1. Compatibility: The jacket fits true to size, but consider wearing your intended hiking mid-layer when measuring to ensure enough room for layering.
  2. Cleaning: Use a mild technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments. Avoid biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying on a very low heat setting may be used if the care label specifically permits it to help reactivate the DWR finish.
  4. Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, use a technical re-proofing spray to restore the water-repellent layer.
