Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket - Brown - XXL

Isotex 15000 means the fabric is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm and breathable with a rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours. This provides good protection against rain and allows moisture vapor to escape.

After washing, you can often reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on a low heat. For a stronger or renewed finish, use a wash-in or spray-on DWR product, following the manufacturer's instructions.

The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, which is essential for cold weather. For very cold conditions, layer it over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down for warmth.

Yes, the grown-on technical hood features adjusters to help you customize the fit and ensure it stays securely in place, protecting you from wind and rain.

The jacket features two lower zipped pockets, one zipped chest pocket, and an inner zipped security pocket, offering ample and secure storage for your essentials.

Wash the jacket only when necessary, for example, when it's visibly dirty or its performance (water repellency or breathability) seems reduced. Over-washing can degrade the DWR treatment and membrane over time.

Articulated sleeves are pre-shaped and feature extra seam work around the elbow to allow for a greater range of motion. This means you can move your arms freely without the jacket riding up or restricting you.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood and cuffs are tightened. Check if the DWR finish needs reactivating or reapplying. If the issue persists after care, the waterproofing may be compromised.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and oils that can clog the pores. Wash using a specialized detergent for technical fabrics. Ensure inner layers are also breathable.

This can sometimes occur if the jacket was stored damp or if fabric softeners were used. Air the jacket thoroughly. If it persists, consider professional cleaning.
