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 providing dependable protection and freedom of movement during hikes and climbs, thanks to its Isotex 20000 stretch fabric and underarm panels. A minor caveat for some users might be that the 2.5-layer fabric, while lightweight, focuses on performance and comfort, meaning it's a shell designed to be layered over other clothing.

FAQs

What does 'Isotex 20000' mean?

'Isotex 20000' refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '20000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 20,000g/m²/24 hours (how much water vapor can pass through the fabric).

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Radler Shell Jacket is a waterproof and breathable shell layer. It does not contain insulation. It is designed to be worn over other layers for warmth.

Can I wear this in heavy snow?

Yes, the jacket is waterproof and windproof, making it suitable for snowy conditions. For warmth, ensure you layer appropriately underneath.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat or hang dry. Reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on low heat with a towel if needed.

What is the benefit of the 'Reach' technology?

The 'Reach' technology refers to the underarm gusset design, which provides enhanced freedom of movement. It allows you to raise your arms freely and without the jacket riding up, which is beneficial for activities like climbing and hiking.

Is the hood adjustable?

Typically, Regatta jackets with integrated hoods feature adjustable drawcords or toggles around the hood opening to allow for a secure and personalized fit against the weather.

Can I reapply the water repellent finish?

Yes, after washing and drying, the DWR finish can often be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat with a towel. If performance is significantly reduced, you can apply a separate DWR spray or wash-in treatment following the product instructions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water / feels damp inside.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket following care instructions, then tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR. If ineffective, apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash using a technical fabric wash. Check that the vents or pit zips (if applicable) are open. Avoid wearing cotton base layers, which hold moisture; opt for synthetics or merino wool.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zip area with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax or a specialized zip lubricant) to the zip teeth.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Ensure the jacket has been washed and dried correctly. If the issue persists, the seam tape might be compromised. Contact the retailer or manufacturer for potential repair or warranty assessment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability rating (Isotex 20000).
  • Stretch fabric and underarm gusset allow for excellent freedom of movement.
  • Lightweight and comfortable due to 2.5-layer construction.
  • Made from 100% recycled polyester, appealing to eco-conscious consumers.
  • Sealed seams and water-repellent zips offer reliable protection against the elements.

Cons

  • As a 2.5-layer shell, it is designed to be layered, so additional insulation may be needed in colder conditions.
  • The focus on lightweight performance might mean it's less durable for extremely rugged use compared to heavier jackets.
  • May require specific care to maintain water repellency and breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Regatta Radler Shell Jacket requires no complex setup. It is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure the hood and hem adjustments (if present) are configured for a snug fit before heading out.

Compatibility:

This jacket is designed as an outer shell. For optimal performance in varying temperatures, it is compatible with layering. Pair it with thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers (e.g., fleece or down jacket) for colder conditions. It is suitable for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, trekking, walking, and general outdoor pursuits.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Once dry, a tumble dry on a low heat with a towel can help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Re-waterproofing: If the water repellency diminishes significantly, consider applying a specific re-waterproofing treatment (available from outdoor retailers) following the product's instructions. This is typically applied after washing and before drying.
