Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket is designed for active outdoor enthusiasts, offering superior protection and comfort during high-level hikes and varied weather conditions. Its key win is the combination of ISOTEX 15000 technology for comprehensive weather defense with stretch fabric for unrestricted movement. However, as a shell jacket, it requires appropriate layering for warmth in colder climates.

FAQs

What does 'ISOTEX 15000' technology mean?

ISOTEX 15000 refers to Regatta's proprietary fabric technology, indicating a waterproof rating of 15,000mm (the amount of water pressure the fabric can withstand before leaking) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours (the amount of moisture vapor that can pass through in a day). This provides excellent protection against rain and allows good internal moisture management.

Is this jacket suitable for cold winter weather?

The Birchdale II is a waterproof and breathable shell jacket, designed to protect against rain and wind. It does not provide insulation. For cold winter weather, you will need to wear appropriate insulating layers (like a fleece or down jacket) underneath to stay warm.

How should I wash this jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, and avoid using conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR finish. Air dry completely.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The chest pocket and lower pockets are equipped with 'hi-tech water-repellent zips' and inner zip guards/drainage channels, offering good protection for items stored inside against rain and moisture.

Is the hood adjustable or removable?

The jacket features a 'grown-on technical hood', meaning it is integrated into the jacket and is not removable. It does, however, come with adjusters to customize the fit around your head for optimal protection.

What is the benefit of the stretch fabric and articulated sleeves?

The 100% polyester stretch fabric combined with articulated sleeves provides enhanced flexibility and range of movement. This is crucial for activities like hiking, climbing, or any movement that requires reaching and bending, ensuring the jacket doesn't restrict you.

Is this jacket environmentally friendly?

Yes, the jacket is made from recycled 100% polyester stretch fabric, reflecting a commitment to using more sustainable materials in its production.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer repels water effectively; fabric 'wets out'.

This often indicates the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs refreshing. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and then apply a new DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in).

Feeling clammy or sweaty inside the jacket despite breathability.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers. Over-layering or wearing cotton underneath can trap sweat, hindering the jacket's breathability. Also, check if the jacket is clean, as dirt can block pores.

Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to operate.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. A silicone-based zipper lubricant can also be applied sparingly to improve smoothness.

Water appears to be seeping through seams.

While taped seams offer full protection, prolonged wear or damage can compromise them. Inspect the seams for visible damage. If you suspect a manufacturing defect, contact customer support. For minor issues, seam sealants can sometimes be used.

The Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket requires no complex setup; simply put it on and adjust it to your comfort. Ensure the adjustable cuffs and shockcord hem are tightened to seal out drafts and moisture. The grown-on technical hood can be adjusted for optimal fit and visibility. This jacket is highly compatible with various layering systems, designed to be worn over a base layer and a mid-layer (like a fleece) for warmth in colder conditions, functioning as a protective shell. It is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, trekking, dog walking, and general outdoor pursuits. For care, follow these guidelines to maintain its performance:

Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Do not use conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR finish.
Drying: Air dry only. Avoid tumble drying or direct heat sources.
Re-proofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofing treatment.
Storage: Store in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
