Product Information
Full details
This Regatta jacket is designed for adult women seeking a lightweight yet warm outerwear option for everyday use. Its key benefit is providing comfortable insulation with a water-repellent finish, making it suitable for unpredictable weather. A potential consideration is that it's designed with a specific fit for a UK size 8, which may not suit all body types. Key features include its recycled synthetic down filling, a grown-on adjustable hood, and multiple secure pockets.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Warmloft filling?
Warmloft filling is designed to provide excellent insulation and warmth without adding significant weight to the jacket, making it comfortable for active wear.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I know if the UK size 8 is the right fit for me?
The jacket is designed with a specific fit for a UK size 8. It is recommended to check the garment's measurements against your own body measurements or consult sizing charts if available. The jacket has a standard fit.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?
While the jacket provides warmth, it is best suited for moderate to cool conditions. For extremely cold weather, it serves well as an outer layer over additional insulating garments like fleece or thermal tops.
What does 'Grown On Hood' mean?
'Grown On Hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the main body of the jacket during manufacturing, rather than being detachable or added as a separate piece.
How sustainable is this jacket?
The jacket is made from recycled materials for both the outer fabric and the synthetic down filling, contributing to a more sustainable product lifecycle.
Are the side pockets secure?
Yes, the two side pockets feature zip fastenings to keep your belongings secure.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not as warm as expected
Ensure the full zip is fastened and the hood is adjusted snugly. For extreme cold, consider layering a warmer fleece or jumper underneath. Synthetic down may require fluffing after washing and drying.
Water repellency seems reduced
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-applying.
Zipper is sticking
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If fabric is caught, carefully pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
Filling has clumped after washing
Place the jacket in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. The action of the balls should help to break up any clumps and restore the loft of the synthetic filling.
