Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Radler Shell Jacket in Blue is designed for adult women seeking a waterproof, breathable, and flexible outer layer for wet-weather outdoor activities. Its key benefit is offering dependable protection and freedom of movement through its Isotex 20000 stretch fabric and underarm gussets, making it ideal for hiking and climbing. A potential caveat is that while it offers excellent waterproofing, users should ensure proper care to maintain its long-lasting water repellency.

FAQs

What does 'Isotex 20000' mean?

Isotex 20000 is Regatta's technology that signifies a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours.

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Radler Shell Jacket is a shell layer designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It does not contain insulation. You will need to wear insulating layers underneath for warmth.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water no longer beads effectively on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear. Following the care instructions will help extend the life of the DWR treatment.

Can I use regular detergent to wash the jacket?

It is not recommended to use regular detergents. They can leave residues that clog the fabric's pores and reduce its breathability and water repellency. Use a specialized technical wash or a small amount of liquid detergent.

What is the benefit of the underarm gussets?

The underarm gussets, part of Regatta's Reach technology, are designed to allow for a greater range of arm movement without the jacket lifting or restricting you, which is ideal for active pursuits like climbing or hiking.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, featuring a 2.5-layer fabric construction.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.

Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR finish. If performance is still degraded, re-apply a DWR treatment.

Water seems to seep through the zipper.

Ensure the main zipper is fully closed. Check the inner zip guard and drainage channel for any debris that might be obstructing a proper seal. Ensure the zipper itself is clean.

Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.

While the jacket is breathable, intense activity can still lead to moisture buildup. Ensure the main zipper and pit zips (if present on other models) are open to increase ventilation. Check that you are not overheating due to insufficient ventilation or wearing non-breathable layers underneath.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Verify that the seams are indeed compromised. If they are, it may require professional seam sealing. Ensure the jacket has been washed and dried correctly, as detergent residue can sometimes mimic leaks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance with Isotex 20000 rating.
  • Enhanced freedom of movement due to stretch fabric and underarm gussets.
  • Lightweight and comfortable 2.5-layer construction.
  • Made from sustainable recycled polyester.
  • Durable water repellency and fully sealed seams for reliable protection.

Cons

  • May require careful washing to maintain water repellency over time.
  • Primarily designed for wet weather, might be too warm for dry, mild conditions.
  • Specific care instructions should be followed to preserve fabric integrity.
  • As a shell jacket, it does not provide insulation on its own.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no specific setup. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure the main zipper and pocket zippers are fully closed before use to maximize water resistance.

Compatibility:

Designed as an outer shell, the Radler jacket is compatible with various mid-layers such as fleece jackets or insulated vests, allowing for adaptable warmth based on conditions. Its standard fit accommodates most body types and activity levels.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C (104°F) with a technical wash or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and damage the water-repellent finish.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 10-15 minutes. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric.
  4. Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions. This can typically be done after washing and drying, often with a spray-on or wash-in product.
