Regatta Birchdale II Jacket - Red - XXL

Isotex Stretch 20000 is Regatta's technology that provides waterproof and breathable protection, rated at 20,000mm for water resistance and 20,000 g/m²/24 hours for breathability. The 'Stretch' indicates the fabric has added elasticity for better movement.

The jacket itself is primarily designed for waterproofing and breathability. For very cold weather, layering with insulating garments like fleece or down is recommended underneath.

Yes, the jacket offers good protection against wind due to its sealed seams and adjustable features, making it suitable for windy conditions.

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading and rolling off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or extensive use in wet conditions.

Water-repellent zippers are designed to resist water penetration, but they may not offer the same level of protection as fully waterproof zippers found on higher-spec garments. They are suitable for keeping moderate moisture out.

Yes, the integrated technical hood features adjustment features to ensure a secure and customized fit.

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester fabric (165 g/m²) with a partly taffeta and partly brushed mesh lining. The sleeve lining is 100% recycled polyester (60 g/m²).

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a graphite pencil to the teeth or use a specialized zipper lubricant.

The fabric may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner or a small amount of liquid detergent, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners.

Ensure all zippers and closures are fully fastened. If leakage persists, the seam taping may be damaged, which may require professional repair or replacement of the jacket.
