Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Rigain men's insulated jacket in Black XXL is designed for adult males seeking a sporty, warm, and practical outerwear option for outdoor pursuits. Its key benefit lies in providing reliable warmth without bulk, thanks to its lightweight polyamide fabric and synthetic down insulation, complemented by a water-repellent finish. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific hood-zip design, which, while stylish, may require adjustment for optimal fit. Key features include its durable yet lightweight construction, effective synthetic insulation, water-repellent properties, secure zipped pockets, and a modern zip-to-hood design.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof or water-repellent?
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, which means it can resist light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged downpours.
What is the insulation made of?
The jacket is insulated with premium synthetic down, weighing 120 g/m², which provides warmth similar to natural down but performs better when wet.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?
While warm for its weight, it's best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a mid-layer in colder climates. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal clothing is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning.
Does the hood offer adjustable tightness?
The jacket features a unique zip design that extends to the hood's visor for style and some protection. It does not appear to have explicit drawcords or adjusters for hood tightness based on the description.
What does 'made from recycled materials' mean?
This indicates that parts of the jacket have been manufactured using recycled components, contributing to a more sustainable production process.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If the issue persists, consider a re-waterproofing treatment specifically designed for outerwear.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath. Synthetic insulation performs best when air is trapped; consider adding a fleece or thermal layer if in very cold conditions. Check that the main zip and pocket zips are fully closed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
