Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Rigain Men's Insulated Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a sporty, warm, and practical outerwear option for outdoor pursuits. Its key benefit lies in providing reliable warmth through synthetic down insulation and a water-repellent finish, making it ideal for active days or casual wear. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so heavy rain may require additional protection. This jacket features a lightweight yet durable design, a unique hood-zip, and secure zipped pockets.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Rigain jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish, meaning it can withstand light rain and moisture but is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, you may need a waterproof outer shell.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Rinse twice and tumble dry on a low heat setting.
What is the insulation material?
The jacket uses premium non-down synthetic insulation, weighing 120 g/m².
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides good warmth for its weight, suitable for cool to moderately cold conditions. For extreme cold, it is recommended to use it as part of a layering system.
Does the jacket have internal pockets?
Yes, it features a zipped inner security pocket for valuables, in addition to two zipped lower outer pockets.
What does 'water-repellent' mean for this jacket?
Water-repellent means the fabric is treated to resist water penetration. Water will bead up and roll off the surface during light rain or splashes. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may eventually soak through.
Is this jacket suitable for high-intensity activities?
The jacket is practical for outdoor pursuits. While it offers warmth and water repellency, for very high-exertion activities where breathability is paramount, consider its layering potential or alternative options.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems less effective.
The water-repellent finish may diminish over time. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate it. For best results, consider using a technical fabric re-proofer.
Jacket feels cold in very low temperatures.
The jacket is designed for moderate warmth. For extremely cold conditions, consider layering it over a warmer base layer or fleece.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there are no fabric snags around the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
