The Regatta Hamara IV Waterproof Jacket is designed for women who enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, offering reliable protection against rain and wind. Its standout feature is the advanced ISOTEX 10000 technology, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable even in challenging conditions. While highly effective in wet weather, remember that as a shell jacket, it's primarily for weather protection and not intended as a primary insulation layer in very cold climates.

ISOTEX 10000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathable rating. The '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before it leaks, making it highly waterproof. It also indicates a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours, meaning 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours, allowing perspiration to escape.
The Hamara IV is a waterproof shell jacket designed for weather protection, not insulation. For winter use or very cold temperatures, you would need to wear appropriate warm layers underneath, such as a fleece or insulated jacket, to stay warm.
Close all zippers and wash the jacket in a washing machine on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F). Use a technical cleaner designed for waterproof outerwear (e.g., Nikwax Tech Wash) and avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach. Air dry or tumble dry on very low if the care label allows, which can help reactivate the DWR.
The jacket's design includes multiple zip pockets for storing essentials. While the outer fabric is waterproof and the zippers are often water-resistant, for absolute maximum protection of sensitive electronics in heavy downpours, it is always recommended to place them in an additional dry bag or waterproof pouch within the pocket.
Recycled polyester is a fabric made from recycled plastic materials, such as plastic bottles. Its benefits include reducing waste in landfills, consuming less energy and fewer resources during production compared to virgin polyester, and lowering carbon emissions. It offers the same performance benefits as regular polyester, such as durability and quick-drying properties.
No, it is not recommended to iron this jacket. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane and taped seams, compromising the jacket's waterproof integrity and breathability.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and then apply a new DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically for waterproof breathable garments.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers that wick moisture away from your body. Over-layering can trap sweat. Also, check that all jacket vents are open if available (this model doesn't specify vents, but general advice). If still an issue, wash and re-treat the jacket as dirt and oils can block breathability.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris. You can also apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant (designed for outdoor gear) to improve smoothness. Be gentle when operating to avoid damage.
Utilize all available adjusters on the hood – typically there are drawcords around the face opening and a toggle at the back of the head. The wire peak can be gently molded to direct rain away from your face for better protection.
As a ready-to-wear jacket, there's no complex setup required. Simply choose your correct size, and it's ready for your next outdoor adventure. Adjust the hood and cuffs as needed for a comfortable and secure fit.
This jacket is designed as an outer shell, making it highly compatible with various layering systems. For colder conditions, wear it over a fleece or insulated mid-layer. In milder weather, a simple base layer will suffice. Its versatility makes it a great addition to any outdoor wardrobe. It pairs well with hiking trousers, waterproof overtrousers, and sturdy walking boots.
Proper care is crucial to maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of your Hamara IV jacket. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:
