Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Rigain jacket is designed for adult women seeking a lightweight yet warm outerwear option for everyday and countryside activities. Its key benefit is providing excellent warmth without bulk, thanks to synthetic down insulation and a water-repellent finish for protection against light rain. A potential caveat is its lightweight nature, which may not be sufficient for extreme cold without layering. Key features include feather-free synthetic down insulation, a durable water-repellent finish, and multiple secure pockets.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the 'Feather Free' insulation?
The 'Feather Free' synthetic down insulation provides excellent warmth and loft, similar to natural down, but performs better when wet and is a cruelty-free alternative.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish which is effective against light rain and showers. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, a waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Regatta sizing guide. The jacket is designed for an adult female fit and can be layered; consider your usual layering habits when selecting a size.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
For mild to cool conditions, it's ideal. In colder weather, it functions well as an insulating mid-layer when worn under a heavier, waterproof outer shell.
What should I do if the jacket gets dirty?
Follow the care instructions: machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent and tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to maintain loft.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood features elastication at the edge and the zip continues to the peak for structure, offering protection. Specific adjustment toggles are not mentioned but it provides good coverage.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses water-repellency
Re-apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product suitable for synthetic fabrics after cleaning. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.
Insulation feels flat after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to break up clumps of insulation and restore its loft.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a gentle cycle. It is recommended to wash with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric and affect the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls to help restore the loft of the insulation. Alternatively, hang to dry.
- Re-proofing: To maintain the water-repellent properties, consider using a re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment after several washes, following the product's specific instructions.
