FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Regatta Daysha is a shell jacket designed for waterproof and windproof protection, not insulation. For winter use, you will need to wear warm base layers and mid-layers underneath.
What does 'Hydrafort fabric' mean?
Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology. It is designed to keep you dry and comfortable in challenging weather conditions by preventing water penetration.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, machine wash cold (30°C) using a technical cleaner specifically for waterproof outerwear. Avoid standard detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as they can damage the waterproof coating.
Is the hood removable?
The hood is 'concealed,' meaning it can be stowed away within the collar, but it is not designed to be fully detached from the jacket.
How do I know when to re-apply the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish?
You'll know it's time when water no longer beads up and rolls off the jacket's surface but instead soaks into the outer fabric (this is known as 'wetting out').
Is this jacket breathable?
Yes, the jacket features a polyester mesh lining which helps to manage moisture and promote air circulation, contributing to overall breathability and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water (wetting out)
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or reapplying. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate. If this doesn't work, apply a new DWR treatment product.
Jacket feels clammy or unbreathable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath. Synthetic or wool base layers work best to wick moisture away. The jacket's mesh lining aids breathability, but overwhelming moisture from exertion or non-wicking layers can reduce comfort.
Hood won't stay secure in windy conditions
Fully deploy the concealed hood and utilize all available adjusters (toggles, drawcords) to cinch it snugly around your head and face. Make sure they are tightened appropriately for a secure fit.
Jacket feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen if too much detergent is used or not thoroughly rinsed. Rewash with a minimal amount of technical cleaner and ensure an extra rinse cycle. Air drying can also help maintain fabric softness.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and extend its lifespan.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a technical outdoor cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof coating and DWR finish.
- Drying: Drip dry or tumble dry on low heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can re-apply a DWR treatment using a spray-on or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for extended periods to maintain the fabric's integrity.
