Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Professional Ablaze jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Printing: When applying branding, ensure your printer uses techniques compatible with polyester softshell materials to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane.
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool setting using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a tumble dryer, use the lowest heat setting to prevent overheating the membrane.
- Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent finish.
- Fit: The adjustable shockcord hem should be tightened in windy conditions to prevent updrafts, but left loose during high-exertion activities to promote airflow.
