Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket - Brown - 16

Yes, it features Regatta's `Isotex 15000` fabric technology, which provides a high level of waterproofing, combined with `taped seams` to ensure complete protection against rain.

Absolutely. The `Isotex 15000` fabric is engineered to be highly breathable, allowing moisture vapor from your body to escape, which helps to keep you comfortable and dry on the inside during active pursuits.

The Birchdale II jacket is designed for a range of outdoor activities, including high-level hikes, walking, trekking, and general outdoor adventures where reliable weather protection and comfort are needed.

To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket using a technical fabric cleaner (not conventional detergents) and re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment when water no longer beads on the outer surface. Air dry completely.

Yes, the jacket is equipped with `multiple pockets` for convenient and secure storage of your essentials while you're out and about.

`Articulated sleeves` are designed with a pre-curved shape to match the natural curve of your arms. This allows for unrestricted movement and prevents the jacket from riding up when you reach or move your arms, enhancing comfort and agility.

Yes, the jacket is designed with versatility in mind and can accommodate various layering systems, allowing you to adapt to different temperatures and conditions by adding or removing base and mid-layers.

This could be due to either external water penetration or internal condensation. First, ensure all zippers are fully closed and check for any visible damage. If the issue persists, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating might need refreshing. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath to manage moisture and prevent excessive internal condensation.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush or damp cloth. A silicone-based zipper lubricant can also be applied to help the zipper glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper as this can cause damage.

Excessive internal moisture (condensation) can occur if your body is producing a lot of heat and sweat, or if the external humidity is very high. Ensure you are not overdressing. Use the jacket's adjustable features (cuffs, hem, unzipping slightly if rain allows) to increase ventilation and airflow.

Utilize the adjusters on the hood to customize the fit around your face and head. There are typically drawcords or toggles that allow you to cinch the hood for a snug, secure fit that moves with you and maintains visibility.
