Regatta Natalina Jacket - Brown

The jacket is made from Isotex 30000 stretch fabric and features fully taped seams. This combination prevents water from penetrating the fabric and passing through the stitches.

Yes, the hood features a wire peak for shape retention and drawcords around the opening, allowing you to adjust its fit for optimal protection.

The jacket itself offers limited insulation. It is designed to keep you dry and protected from wind. For cold weather, it is best worn as part of a layering system with insulating mid-layers.

It's recommended to re-proof the jacket when you notice a decline in water repellency, typically after several washes or when water no longer beads on the surface. Following the care instructions and tumble drying after washing helps maintain the existing DWR finish.

Isotex 30000 refers to the fabric's rating for waterproofing and breathability. A rating of 30000mm signifies high waterproofing, and a high breathability rating (often implied with Isotex technology) allows moisture vapor from the body to escape.

The stretch fabric enhances comfort and freedom of movement, making the jacket ideal for active pursuits like hiking where flexibility is important. It prevents the fabric from feeling restrictive.

Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly with a liquid detergent and has been tumble dried to reactivate the DWR finish. If water repellency is still poor, apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment.

Adjust the drawcords around the hood opening and the wire peak to achieve a secure fit. Ensure the hood is properly zipped up.

This can sometimes occur if detergent residue is not fully rinsed out. Try a double rinse cycle during the next wash. Avoid using fabric softeners.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try to operate the zipper again. Lubricating the zipper with wax or a graphite pencil can also help.
