Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Matt II Shell Jacket is designed for active men who need reliable protection from the elements during outdoor pursuits. Its key benefit is offering waterproof, breathable, and stretchable performance for comfort during strenuous activities. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it's designed for active use, so extreme prolonged submersion might exceed its rating. This jacket features Isotex 15000 stretch fabric, sealed seams for complete waterproofing, a packaway hood, and adjustable elements for a personalized fit, making it suitable for hiking, climbing, and general wet-weather walking.

FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 indicates the fabric's rating for waterproofing (15,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability (15,000g/m²/24 hours), signifying good protection against rain and good vapor permeability to keep you comfortable.
How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?
After washing and drying, you can use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment. Follow the specific instructions provided with the DWR product for application and activation (often requiring heat, like tumble drying).
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This is a shell jacket, designed primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance. For warmth in winter, you will need to layer insulating items like fleece or down jackets underneath.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Always close zippers and wash separately.
What is the main benefit of the stretch fabric?
The stretch fabric provides enhanced freedom of movement, making the jacket more comfortable and less restrictive during active pursuits like hiking, climbing, or cycling.
How do I store the packaway hood?
The hood is typically stored within a dedicated zipped compartment, often located around the collar of the jacket. Simply fold the hood and zip it away to keep it protected and out of the way.
What size should I choose if I plan to layer underneath?
If you intend to wear thick layers underneath, consider ordering one size up from your usual size to ensure a comfortable, non-restrictive fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket leaks during heavy rain
Ensure all seams are properly taped. Check the DWR finish; if it's diminished, reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment. For extreme conditions, consider layering with a more robust waterproof system.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur during high exertion. Ensure the main zipper is partially open for ventilation. Check that the breathability of any layers worn underneath is not compromised. Make sure the jacket is not overly tight, allowing air circulation.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zippers with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a specific zipper treatment to ensure smooth operation.
Hood adjustment is loose
Pull the adjustable drawstring to tighten the hood around the face. Ensure the toggles are secured properly.
