Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Rigain Padded Jacket is an ideal choice for adult men seeking a reliable, lightweight outer layer for hiking and casual daily wear. Its primary strength lies in its synthetic down insulation, which offers significant warmth without excess bulk, though users should note that the water-repellent coating is best suited for light showers rather than heavy downpours. Combining practical storage with a sleek aesthetic, this jacket provides a versatile solution for varying cool-weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a water-repellent coating, which protects against light showers, but it is not fully waterproof.
What material is the jacket made of?
This version is constructed from high-quality polyester, designed for durability and warmth.
Can I wear this in extreme sub-zero temperatures?
This jacket is designed for mild to cool conditions; for extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a heavier parka.
How do I maintain the jacket's warmth?
Keep the jacket clean and avoid long-term compression. Tumble drying on low with a tennis ball helps restore the loft of the synthetic insulation.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it includes a hood with an integrated zip system for added wind protection.
Are the pockets deep enough for large smartphones?
The lower zipped pockets are sized for standard essentials, and the internal security pocket is designed specifically for valuables like phones or keys.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric during rain
The durable water-repellent (DWR) coating is likely wearing off; re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore performance.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and clean any debris from the zipper track; applying a small amount of zipper lubricant or silicone spray can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Rigain jacket, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent suitable for synthetic outdoor gear. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Including a clean tennis ball in the dryer can help re-distribute the synthetic padding.
- Waterproofing: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. Re-apply a spray-on waterproofing treatment specifically designed for synthetic jackets to maintain its performance.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it in tight storage spaces for long periods to preserve the loft of the padding.
