FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The jacket provides good insulation from synthetic down and a DWR finish, making it suitable for cool and damp conditions. For extreme cold or prolonged exposure to harsh winter weather, layering with warmer garments is recommended.
How do I reapply the DWR finish?
You can reapply the DWR finish using a spray-on or wash-in treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product instructions carefully, usually involving application and then tumble drying on a low heat.
Can I wash this jacket with other clothing?
It is best to wash the jacket separately or with similar items on a gentle cycle to prevent damage to the fabric and filling, and to maintain the integrity of the DWR treatment.
What does 'feather-free' mean?
'Feather-free' indicates that the synthetic down filling does not contain any animal-derived feathers, making it a cruelty-free and vegan-friendly option.
What is the benefit of the inner storm cuffs?
Inner storm cuffs are elasticated cuffs integrated into the sleeves that fit snugly around the wrist. They help to prevent wind and cold air from entering the jacket sleeves and keep warmth contained.
What material is the lining made of?
The lining of the Regatta Lakiver Padded Jacket is made of taffeta, which provides a smooth, comfortable feel and helps the jacket to easily slide on and off over other layers.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the DWR finish is intact and consider wearing additional layers underneath for extra insulation in colder weather. Check that all zippers and cuffs are properly secured to prevent heat loss.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment to the outer fabric. For heavy rain, additional waterproof outer layers may be required.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Filling appears clumpy after washing
Ensure the jacket is fully dry and has been tumble dried with tennis balls or dryer balls on a low heat setting to redistribute the filling. If clumping persists, it may require professional cleaning.
