Regatta Eloria Jacket - Black - 12

The jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which means it will effectively shed light rain and moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof and may eventually wet out in prolonged or heavy downpours. For complete waterproofing in heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof shell would be recommended.

Always check the care label on your specific jacket first. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and powder detergents. Tumble dry on a low heat with dryer balls or air dry completely.

Synthetic down is a man-made insulation designed to mimic the properties of natural down. It provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and, importantly, retains its insulating properties much better than natural down when it gets wet, making it a reliable choice for damp and cold conditions.

The Eloria Jacket with its synthetic down insulation provides good warmth for cool to cold conditions. For very harsh winter weather or sub-zero temperatures, it is designed to be part of a layering system. You may need to wear appropriate base and mid-layers underneath for optimal warmth.

Yes, the Regatta Eloria Jacket includes an internal pocket in addition to the concealed zipped side pockets, offering secure storage for smaller valuables.

The Eloria Jacket features a regular fit with a longline cut. This means it provides a comfortable, standard fit that allows for layering, and extends further down the body for additional warmth and a modern silhouette.

The DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. First, wash the jacket according to care instructions, as dirt and oils can impede DWR performance. If that doesn't work, consider using a DWR spray-on or wash-in treatment designed for outerwear.

Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath the jacket. While synthetic down provides warmth, in very cold conditions, additional base and mid-layers are essential. Also, check that all zippers are fully closed and storm cuffs are properly positioned to prevent heat loss.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based spray or a graphite pencil) along the teeth to improve smoothness. Avoid forcing the zipper.

During the drying process, especially in a tumble dryer, use a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. These help to agitate and re-fluff the synthetic insulation, restoring its loft and even distribution. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.

Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dry after each use to prevent mildew. If an odor persists, wash the jacket using a specialist odor-eliminating technical wash, ensuring to rinse thoroughly. Air dry completely before storing.
