FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Regatta Stormbreak is a shell jacket designed for waterproofing, not insulation. For very cold weather, we recommend wearing appropriate thermal layers underneath to provide warmth.

How breathable is the jacket?

While the jacket is designed to keep rain out, it focuses primarily on waterproof protection. For high-exertion activities where maximum breathability is crucial, you may experience some internal condensation. It performs well for general outdoor use.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it. Always follow the care label, typically a 30°C gentle cycle. Use a technical wash for waterproofs or a minimal amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

Does this jacket have an inner lining?

The product description mentions it's a 'shell jacket' with a 'lightweight construction,' implying it generally has a minimal or basic inner lining designed to protect the waterproof membrane rather than provide significant warmth.

Is the hood adjustable?

The description states it has an 'integrated hood.' While it provides coverage, it does not specify any adjustment features like drawcords or toggles, suggesting it's a fixed, non-adjustable design.

What is 'Hydrafort technology'?

Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology designed to provide reliable protection from the elements, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking into the jacket fabric instead of beading off.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is wearing off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR reproofing spray or wash-in product to restore water repellency.

Jacket feels clammy or damp inside, even if it's not leaking.

This is often due to condensation from body heat and humidity not escaping effectively. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath (e.g., moisture-wicking base layers). Try unzipping the jacket slightly for increased ventilation, especially during higher activity levels.

Zipper snags or is difficult to move.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try again. For persistent stiffness, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection with Hydrafort technology and sealed seams.
  • Durable construction suitable for various outdoor conditions.
  • Lightweight design enhances comfort and packability.
  • Integrated hood offers immediate and convenient head protection.
  • Simple, functional design focuses on essential weather defense.

Cons

  • Offers no thermal insulation, requiring layering in cold weather.
  • Limited pocket options (two hand pockets only).
  • Elasticated cuffs are non-adjustable, which might not suit all users' preferences.
  • Info needed: Specifics on breathability for high-exertion activities are not detailed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Regatta Stormbreak Jacket is straightforward:

  1. Donning the Jacket: Simply put on the jacket over your clothing. Ensure the full zip is completely open for ease of wear.
  2. Fastening: Pull the full zip upwards to secure the jacket. For optimal weather protection, ensure the zip is fully closed.
  3. Hood Use: If rain begins, pull the integrated hood over your head. No adjustments are typically needed, as it's designed to offer basic head coverage.
  4. Cuffs: The elasticated cuffs will naturally conform to your wrists, helping to seal out wind and rain.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed as a waterproof shell and performs best in:

  • Rainy Conditions: Ideal for light to moderate rain due to its Hydrafort waterproof fabric and sealed seams.
  • Mild to Cool Temperatures: As it lacks insulation, it's best suited for conditions where you don't require significant warmth. For colder weather, layer appropriate fleeces or thermal tops underneath.
  • Outdoor Activities: Perfect for walking, hiking, camping, dog walking, and daily commuting where rain protection is key.

Care

Proper care will prolong the life and maintain the performance of your waterproof jacket:

  • Washing: Machine wash according to the label's instructions, typically at 30°C with a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproofing.
  • Drying: Drip dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry unless specifically indicated on the care label, and even then, use a low heat setting.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Reproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off, causing water to 'wet out' the fabric surface. If this occurs, clean the jacket and apply a suitable DWR reproofing product (spray or wash-in, follow product instructions).
