FAQs

Is the Regatta Hamara IV Jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, the jacket features ISOTEX 10000 technology and taped seams, providing complete waterproof protection against rain and moisture.

What is the breathability rating of this jacket?

It has a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours, meaning it allows a significant amount of moisture vapor to escape, keeping you comfortable during activity.

What kind of activities is this jacket suitable for?

This jacket is ideal for hiking, walking, and general outdoor use in rainy or damp conditions, offering protection and comfort.

How should I wash the Regatta Hamara IV Jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a specialist technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Air dry away from direct heat.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the jacket features a grown-on technical wire peaked hood, which is permanently attached.

Does this jacket provide warmth or insulation?

The Hamara IV jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and breathability. It does not offer significant thermal insulation, so you will need to layer appropriately for warmth in colder weather.

What does 'recycled polyester fabric' mean?

It means the jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to environmental sustainability by utilizing materials that would otherwise go to waste.

Are there pockets for storage?

Yes, the jacket is equipped with multiple zip pockets, providing secure storage for your essentials.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading up.

This indicates the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket using a specialist technical cleaner and then apply a DWR re-proofing treatment suitable for waterproof jackets, following the product instructions.

The jacket feels damp or clammy on the inside.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers that wick moisture away from your body. Cotton layers can absorb sweat and reduce the jacket's breathability performance. Also, check that all zippers (including pit zips if present) are properly closed to prevent external moisture entry, and consider re-proofing if the outer fabric is saturated.

The hood isn't staying secure in windy conditions.

Utilize the adjusters on the grown-on technical wire peaked hood. Cinch the elastic cords around your face and at the back of the head to create a snug, secure fit that moves with you and protects against wind.

Zippers feel stiff or are difficult to operate.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris. If stiffness persists, a specialized zipper lubricant (silicone-based) can be applied sparingly to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

The Regatta Hamara IV jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack and wear it over your chosen base and mid-layers. Adjust the hood and cuffs to your preferred fit before heading out.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed as an outer shell and is compatible with various layering systems. Wear it over a moisture-wicking base layer and a warm fleece or mid-layer depending on the temperature, to maximize comfort and thermal regulation in colder conditions. Its functional design allows for freedom of movement, making it suitable for active use with hiking backpacks.

Product Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the waterproofing and breathability of your jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. General guidelines include:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid biological detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry your jacket, ideally on a hanger, away from direct heat. Tumble drying is generally not recommended unless specified on the care label, and only on a low heat setting. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
  3. Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off, causing water to stop beading on the surface. You can restore this by applying a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof garments, following the product's instructions.
