The Freesdale jacket is designed for serious outdoor protection against harsh weather, particularly during activities like hiking and trekking in exposed conditions. Its main benefit is providing advanced waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance.
Isotex 30000 indicates a high level of waterproofing and breathability. It means the fabric can withstand 30,000mm of water pressure and has a breathability rating of 30,000g/m²/24 hours, making it suitable for heavy rain and strenuous activity.
Yes, it is designed as an outer shell. You can layer a fleece or insulated jacket underneath for warmth in colder temperatures. The adjustable features help to seal out drafts.
Regular washing and periodic re-application of a DWR treatment are essential. Follow the care instructions for washing and drying, and use a specialized wash-in or spray-on waterproofer to refresh the outer finish.
Yes, the grown-on technical hood features adjusters and a wire-peaked visor to allow for a secure and customized fit, providing effective protection against wind and rain.
The jacket is made from 100% polyester stretch ripstop fabric, which includes recycled polyester for sustainability. It features a durable water-repellent finish.
The jacket is equipped with two lower pockets, two chest pockets, and an internal zipped security pocket for your essentials.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on a low heat. Apply a suitable re-proofer (wash-in or spray) and follow its instructions for reactivation.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. If leakage persists, it may indicate a defect. Contact customer support. For minor issues, a seam sealer might offer a temporary fix, but professional assessment is recommended.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Once dry, apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve movement.
While the jacket is breathable, high-intensity activity can exceed its limits. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture. Check that ventilation options (if any) are open and that no internal layers are blocking airflow.
Setup: The Regatta Freesdale jacket requires no specific setup beyond adjusting the hood, cuffs, and hem for a secure fit. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer layer for adult males. It can be worn over mid-layers such as fleece or insulated jackets for added warmth in colder conditions. Its sizing is generally consistent with standard men's apparel.
