Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Kelane Padded Jacket is designed for women seeking a lightweight, insulated, and water-repellent outerwear option for everyday wear. Its key benefit lies in its synthetic down-touch fill, providing warmth without bulk, and a Durable Water Repellent finish to protect against light rain. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof and may not be sufficient for heavy downpours. This jacket features a hooded design, ribbed cuffs and neckline for a snug fit, a two-way zip, and ample pocket space for convenience. It's constructed from 100% polyester with a polyamide lining and incorporates recycled materials for sustainability.

FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

The Regatta Kelane Padded Jacket is best suited for cool to mild weather, and conditions with light rain or wind. Its Durable Water Repellent finish and synthetic insulation provide warmth and protection against light showers.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can resist light rain and water, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Crucially, tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the DWR finish. Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for full details.

What does 'Synthetic Down Touch' mean?

This refers to the insulation material used, which is designed to mimic the feel and warmth of natural down but is made from synthetic fibers. This type of insulation typically performs better when damp and is easier to care for.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?

While the jacket provides warmth, it is generally best suited for moderate temperatures. For very cold winter conditions, it can be effective when layered over additional warm clothing such as a fleece or thermal base layer.

Are the materials used sustainable?

Yes, this jacket is made from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable approach to clothing production. The specific outer material is 100% polyester.

How do I ensure I choose the correct size?

The jacket's sizing is provided in UK measurements. It is recommended to check the specific size guide provided, which includes measurements in inches for different UK sizes (e.g., 8 UK: 32 in, 10 UK: 34 in). Compare these measurements to your own body measurements for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivation or reapplication. Ensure the jacket is clean, then tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the existing DWR. If effectiveness does not improve, consider applying a new DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions.

Insulation feels flat or clumpy after washing

This can happen with synthetic fill. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps and restore the loft of the insulation. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. If the zipper still feels stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Avoid using wax or oily substances that can stain the fabric.

Jacket feels too cold for current conditions

This jacket is designed for moderate conditions or as a layering piece. For colder weather, consider wearing an additional insulating layer (like a fleece or a down vest) underneath the jacket. Ensure all zippers and cuffs are closed to minimize heat loss.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective warmth for its lightweight construction.
  • The DWR finish offers good protection against light rain and splashes.
  • Multiple secure pockets are useful for carrying essentials.
  • The two-way zip adds versatility for ventilation and comfort.
  • Made with recycled materials, appealing to eco-conscious consumers.
  • Ribbed cuffs and hood help to keep out wind and cold.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof; unsuitable for heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions.
  • While insulated, it may not be sufficient for extreme cold temperatures.
  • The sizing information provided is for UK measurements only, which might confuse international customers.
  • The printed/text details may be a matter of personal style preference.
  • Polyamide lining might not be as breathable as some natural materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Kelane Padded Jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure the size is correct before wearing.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a standalone outerwear piece or as a mid-layer. It is compatible with a wide range of casual wear, including jeans, trousers, and walking gear. It can be layered over fleeces or base layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C. Use a specific detergent for technical outerwear or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners, as these can impair the DWR finish and fabric breathability.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. It is recommended to run an extra rinse cycle to remove all detergent residue.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is crucial to tumble dry to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. You may need to add clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help maintain the loft of the synthetic insulation.
  • Re-proofing: If the DWR finish appears to be failing (water no longer beads on the surface), the jacket can be re-treated with a suitable DWR spray or wash-in product after cleaning, following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.
