FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the feather-free synthetic down?
The feather-free synthetic down provides excellent warmth and insulation comparable to natural down but is lighter, more compressible, and retains insulating properties even when damp. It is also a more sustainable and hypoallergenic option.
How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR finish?
You can test the DWR finish by sprinkling a little water on the fabric. If the water beads up and rolls off, the finish is still effective. If the water soaks into the fabric, it's time to reapply a DWR treatment.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell would be more appropriate.
What do the '20D' and '35gsm' specifications refer to?
'20D' refers to the denier count of the outer fabric yarn, indicating its fineness and contributing to the jacket's lightweight nature. '35gsm' refers to the weight of the outer fabric in grams per square meter, highlighting its lightweight construction.
Is the jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The jacket provides good insulation for mild to cool weather. For extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer, combined with a warmer base layer and a protective outer shell.
How does the odour control feature work?
The jacket incorporates anti-bacterial properties within the fabric that help to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the garment fresher for longer periods.
What sizes are available for this jacket?
The Regatta Dalent Padded Jacket is available in adult male sizes ranging from S (38 inch chest) to XXXL (51 inch chest). Please refer to the product description for specific size measurements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics after washing and drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. You can try applying a small amount of wax or a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Jacket has lost some of its loft/warmth
Synthetic down can sometimes clump after washing. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat with a few clean tennis balls to help redistribute the filling and restore loft.
Odour persists after washing
Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dried, as moisture can contribute to odors. For persistent odors, you may need to use a specialized sports wash detergent designed for technical fabrics.
