Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Birchdale II is an ideal choice for active women who enjoy high-level hiking and outdoor pursuits in unpredictable weather. Engineered with Isotex stretch fabric, it provides a reliable barrier against the elements while maintaining essential breathability for strenuous climbs. While the jacket excels in moisture protection and mobility, users should note that as a lightweight shell, it does not provide heavy thermal insulation on its own and is best utilized as part of a layered clothing system.

FAQs

Is the Birchdale II jacket windproof?

Yes, the waterproof and breathable construction also provides significant protection against wind chill.

Can I wear this jacket for skiing?

While it is excellent for hiking, it is not a dedicated ski jacket. It lacks a snow skirt and specific pockets for ski passes, though it can work as a shell layer in mild conditions.

How should I store the jacket?

Store it hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the waterproof membrane.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the Birchdale II features a grown-on (fixed) technical hood.

Does this jacket have underarm vents?

This model relies on the inherent breathability of the Isotex fabric rather than mechanical pit zips for ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the surface of the jacket.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.

Inside of the jacket feels damp.

This is often caused by condensation buildup from trapped body heat. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or grit, then lubricate lightly with a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your jacket, wear it over appropriate base layers or mid-layers depending on the ambient temperature.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments.
  2. Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof coating.
  3. Drying: Line dry whenever possible. If the care label permits, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent (DWR) treatment.
  4. Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the fabric's water-repellent properties.
