Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Leeshaw Insulating Hooded Baffled Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable warmth and practical features for cold-weather activities. Its key benefit is providing substantial insulation without unnecessary bulk, thanks to its polyester fabric and synthetic down filling. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may require additional protection. This jacket offers a detachable hood, zipped pockets, and stylish twin-stitch baffling, making it a versatile choice for both outdoor adventures and daily wear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is detachable and features drawcord adjusters for a customizable fit.

What is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from lightweight polyester fabric with synthetic down insulation.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or showers. For heavy or prolonged rain, additional waterproof outerwear may be necessary.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore loft.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

Yes, it provides good warmth for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with a thermal base layer and a mid-layer like a fleece is recommended.

What does 'twin-stitch baffling' mean?

Twin-stitch baffling refers to the stitching pattern used to create compartments for the insulation. It helps keep the filling evenly distributed and adds to the jacket's aesthetic design.

Does this jacket have internal pockets?

The product description mentions twin zipped pockets, which are typically located on the exterior. Please check product specifics if internal pockets are a requirement.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing enough warmth

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is properly adjusted. Consider layering a fleece or thermal base layer underneath for colder conditions.

Insulation feels clumpy after washing

Place the jacket in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. The action of the balls helps to break up clumps and redistribute the synthetic insulation evenly.

Water repellency is reduced

The water-repellent finish may diminish over time. Consider using a reproofing spray designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying according to care instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil tip) to the zipper teeth and teeth.
